NZD/USD Advances to 0.6035 as USD Softens Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

NZD/USD shows positive momentum on Wednesday, rebounding near the 0.6000 psychological level during the Asian session. The pair recovers part of yesterday’s decline from the year-to-date high and trades near 0.6030 as markets await the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy decision.

Fed Rate Decision and Market Outlook

The Fed is widely expected to keep rates unchanged in the June meeting. Traders will closely watch the Fed’s statement, updated dots plot, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference for signals on future rate cuts. This guidance is set to influence near-term USD movement and impact NZD/USD direction.

Factors Supporting NZD/USD

Softening inflation and signs of economic slowdown bolster expectations for Fed rate cuts starting in September. At the same time, diminishing odds of aggressive Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) rate cuts provide underlying support for the NZD.

Potential Headwinds

Ongoing trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainties could cap NZD/USD gains, keeping the pair within the recent trading range.
