The San Francisco Federal Reserve released a research report on Monday. The report showed that investors were underestimating the start of interest rate hike by the Fed.

The New Zealand dollar declined against the U.S dollar after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's interest rate decision. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) kept its interest rate unchanged at 3.50%. This decision was widely expected by analysts.

Mr. Wheeler signalled that he will wait with future interest rates.
