Over the past month AUD/NZD has printed highs around 1.1170, its strongest levels since 2018. However, in late June, the pair faltered, trading mostly just below 1.10. Economists at Westpac believe AUD/NZD could slide to 1.08 in the near term, however, the pair is expected to recover above 1.12 later in the third quarter.
“Near term, poor global risk sentiment including regarding China could see AUD/NZD back to the 1.08 handle for a while. But we expect the pair to rally beyond 1.12 later in Q3.”
“Fair value looks to be around 1.12-1.13.”
