The Kiwi (NZD) drops from dovish RBNZ meeting, NZDUSD technical levels
The RBNZ delivered an expected 25 bps cut, but its dovish tone surprised markets. Lower inflation projections, reduced OCR forecasts, and weaker growth and employment outlooks weighed heavily on the Kiwi, sending it lower against major peers. Traders now reassess NZD’s path as policy looks set to stay accommodative.

NZD/JPY Technical: Further Kiwi weakness, torpedoed by an ultra-dovish RBNZ
The RBNZ cut its OCR by 25 bps to 3%, but surprised with dovish guidance, projecting further declines to 2.71% by end-2025 and 2.55% in early 2026. Two officials even pushed for a 50 bps cut, reinforcing easing bias. The Kiwi weakened, with NZD/JPY showing downside potential as bond yield spreads narrow, supporting a bearish medium-term outlook.

EC-409 An introduction to the U.S. dollar index (DXY)-HERO
The US Dollar (DXY) pauses at 98.00 as markets await clarity – What's next?
With summer trading volumes subdued and European markets quiet overnight, the Dollar Index is finding a floor near the 98.00 handle. Following a sharp July rally and August retracement, the DXY remains rangebound as traders await clarity from White House-led talks with Russia, Ukraine, and the EU. We analyze if this indecision can persist from a technical standpoint.

AUDUSD consolidates into new range after the RBA rate cut
AUDUSD faces choppy trading after a pivotal week for both currencies. The RBA’s 25 bps cut to 3.60% briefly lifted the Aussie but saw some reversals yesterday. In the US, a calm CPI was quickly overshadowed by hot PPI data showing tariff-led inflation. With the USD’s gains fading today, traders turn to technicals for clues in this indecisive trading in the Aussie pair.

EUR/CHF Technical: Major bullish bottom supported by European stocks' outperformance
EUR/CHF has lagged EUR/USD in recent months, but technical signals point to a potential 1–3 week bullish catch-up. Trading above its 20-, 50-, and 200-day MAs, the cross may be in the second upleg of a year-long bottoming formation. RSI stays bullish above 50, and broader European equity outperformance could fuel further gains. Key support at 0.9360 with 0.9640 resistance to watch.

USD/JPY Technical: Further potential drop towards ascending range support
The Japanese yen’s strength has unfolded as expected, with USD/JPY dropping -0.9% week-to-date and breaking key support at 146.60. Dovish comments from US Treasury Secretary Bessent sparked rate-cut bets, with futures now pricing in a 52% chance of a third cut in December. Short-term bias remains bearish below 147.85, with supports at 145.85 and 145.10/144.80, as narrowing US-Japan rate spreads add downside pressure.

Australian dollar extends gains after solid wage growth
Australia's wage growth posted a solid gain of 3.4% in Q2, unchanged from the first quarter. This comes a day after the RBA cut rates. In the US, CPI remained steady at 2.7% but the core rate jumped to 3.1% from 2.9% as US tariffs have made imports more expensive.
