Overview and Dynamics
Past almost 2 decades since the beginning of the month were marked by almost nonstop growth of the pair NZD / USD.
The current month the pair based on 3 pillars, so to speak. It is - to reduce almost to zero the expectations of market participants that the Federal Reserve on the background of the incoming negative data will not raise rates in the United States in October, expectations that the RBNZ, in turn, will reduce the interest rate in New Zealand, who grew up world prices for dairy products , whose exports account for 25% of all New Zealand's exports, directly affecting the budget of the country.
The head of the RBNZ, Graeme Wheeler, speaking last week, said the increased concerns about the situation in the housing market of the country, and said the central bank has room to lower interest rates in the event of a significant slowdown in the global economy.
He also said he did not rule out the possibility of returning to the country's budget deficit in 2016. The growing trade deficit on the background of a slowing economy the largest trading partner of China, reduce China's imports from New Zealand, the slowdown in GDP growth in Q2 may cause the RBNZ to go for another interest rate cut in New Zealand, probably towards the end of the year.
In the context of the global economic slowdown the Fed can keep its key interest rate in the US at the same level over the next few months.
New Zealand economy, export-oriented, more needs cheap New Zealand dollar, as pointed out in September, Wheeler stating that the RBNZ is ready to go for another interest rate cut in New Zealand.
