Kiwi finds support from the NZ Treasury

The New Zealand Dollar may be the weakest among the other major currencies and may still be under heavy selling pressure in a non-friendly atmosphere in 2020.

Kiwi selling interest continues to increase despite an optimistic view of the market in traders’ commitment reports based on last week’s performance. The situation is less than conducive, and the fluctuations associated with the Covid-19 outbreak will likely show further downside risks for high-beta currencies, such as the New Zealand Dollar. Although there is a potential weakness of the US Dollar in response to the anticipated rate cut, the downside potential of this beta currency against the US Dollar could be reduced.
