What Moves AUD/NZD

A pair's price is one currency's value measured against another, so the economy behind each side matters.

Australian Dollar (AUD)

Australia · Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) · Free float

The Australian Dollar (the "Aussie") is a liquid commodity currency, sensitive to iron ore, coal and gold prices and to demand from China.

Major contributors to the economy

  • Iron ore and coal mining
  • Liquefied natural gas
  • Education and tourism
  • Agriculture
  • Financial services

Key factors

  • Commodity prices. Iron ore, coal and gold prices strongly influence the Aussie.
  • China's economy. China is Australia's largest export market.
  • RBA policy. Rate decisions and guidance from the Reserve Bank of Australia.
  • Global risk appetite. The Aussie tends to rise when investors are optimistic.

New Zealand Dollar (NZD)

New Zealand · Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) · Free float

The New Zealand Dollar (the "kiwi") is a smaller commodity currency driven by dairy and agricultural exports and global risk appetite.

Major contributors to the economy

  • Dairy
  • Meat and agriculture
  • Tourism
  • Forestry
  • Services

Key factors

  • Dairy prices. Dairy is New Zealand's largest export, so Global Dairy Trade auctions matter.
  • RBNZ policy. Rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
  • Risk sentiment. The kiwi tends to rise in optimistic markets and fall in stress.

How AUD and NZD Interact

The Australian Dollar is a commodity currency, so swings in the prices of its main exports often show up in this pair.

The New Zealand Dollar is a commodity currency, so swings in the prices of its main exports often show up in this pair.

Central-bank policy matters on both sides: the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). When one of them is expected to keep interest rates higher than the other, that currency usually attracts capital and strengthens; a narrowing gap tends to reverse the move.
