The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) continues to draw support from recent comments by Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) Governor Anna Breman, who indicated that the Official Cash Rate could be increased sooner and by more than previously expected.

He also warned that any Israeli attack on Beirut could trigger a full-scale resumption of the conflict.
