MNI BRIEF: Canada Says Has Leverage Against Trump Tariffs
AUD/NZD Close To 1.0600 Test
AUD/NZD got close to a test of the 1.0600 level in recent dealings (low of 1.0602). We are slightly higher now, last around 1.0615. NZD has continued to climb, last near 0.6115, up around 0.30% for the session (earlier highs were at 0.6122).
- The main NZD support has been the ANZ view change around the RBNZ outlook. To recap, the local bank sees hikes in Feb and Apr and the cash rate at 6% until Feb 2025.
- Market re-assessment of the RBNZ outlook, relative to the RBA, has seen a sharp move lower in the AU-NZ rate differential. The chart below plots spot AUD/NZD versus the 2yr swap spread.
- We also noted the downside risks in the AUD/NZD cross in this piece, earlier in the week.
- For AUD, RBA Governor Bullock is testifying before parliament and is largely sticking to Tuesday's script and striking a balanced tone around the outlook, see this link for more details.
- If AUD/NZD can break 1.0600, May lows from last year of 1.0560 could be the next downside target.
