Chart alert: AUD/NZD rally set to continue after hitting 13-year high
AUD/NZD may extend its rally after reaching a fresh 13-year high ahead of the RBNZ policy decision. While the RBNZ is expected to deliver a hawkish hold at 2.25%, widening Australia-New Zealand bond yield spreads and the RBA’s more aggressive tightening path continue to favour the Australian dollar. Technical analysis highlights strong bullish momentum above 1.2130 support, with a breakout above 1.2250 potentially opening the door toward 1.2310 and 1.2400.
