The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) maintains a moderately negative tone against the US Dollar (USD) on Monday, despite a somewhat brighter market sentiment. The Kiwi Dollar is failing to draw any significant support from market hopes of a peace deal in Iran and remains trading within previous ranges, with upside attempts capped below the 0.5880 area and six-week lows at 0.5815 still in sight.
US President Donald Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio have boosted expectations of a negotiated end to Iran’s war, which is weighing moderately on the safe-haven U.S. Dollar. The NZD, however, is struggling to appreciate further, with investors betting on steady interest rates after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) monetary policy meeting, due on Wednesday.
Inflation pressures remain high in New Zealand amid a sharp increase in energy costs, pressuring the central bank to tighten monetary policy further. Policymakers, however, are expected to take into account that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is growing at a meagre 0.2% and will refrain from tightening borrowing costs further, wary of tipping the economy into recession.
Technical Analysis: Trading within an ascending triangle pattern
The NZD/USD is holding a neutral-to-slightly bullish tone with price action showing an ascending triangle, a pattern often anticipating bullish outcomes. The 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers in the low 50s, hinting at stabilising momentum, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains marginally positive, altogether suggesting a modest bullish bias.
Bulls are facing strong resistance in the 0.5880-0.5890 area, which capped upside attempts several times last week. A sustained break above this cluster would expose a previous support area between 0.5920 and 0.5930 before the May 8, 11, and 12 highs in the 0.5970 area.
On the downside, immediate support is seen at the base of the triangle, at 0.5860, which so far guards the path to the mentioned 0.5815 floor (April 29, May 19 lows) and the April 13 low, at 0.5794.
