Forex Marketz Daily Forex News – Fully Markets Update
Looking at the NZD/USD currency exchange rate on the above daily MT 4 price action chart, the New Zealand dollar has fallen to an intra-day low of 0.7260 during the early Asian trade session on Tuesday. This Forex market is paring back some gains overnight after hitting the January high price point.
This morning the Assistant Governor at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) gave an interview to Reuters News. RBNZ assistant governor Christian Hawkesby said that the central bank is in no rush to make any changes with monetary policy or interest rates. His comments were to dissuade Forex traders that the RBNZ would make any sudden rate moves.
Assistant governor Christian Hawkesby said the “markets are keen to get ahead of central banks but there will inevitably be false starts and that is why we are seeing some of the volatility in bond markets at the moment.” He went on to comment that “our approach is to continually remind markets that we are going to be patient, and we are in no hurry to remove stimulus.”
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand met last week and kept their overnight cash rate (OCR) and monetary policy as is. The central bank, after their decision, said that “it would maintain easy policy settings for a prolonged period.”
