About AUD/NZD

AUD/NZD, nicknamed the Trans-Tasman pair, reflects the economic relationship between Australia and New Zealand - two neighboring countries with deeply intertwined trade and financial systems. The pair is driven almost entirely by the interest rate differential between the RBA and RBNZ. Because both currencies are commodity-linked, the impact of commodity prices is partially netted out; what matters is the relative pace of economic growth and the direction of monetary policy in each country. Australian employment data, Chinese PMIs, and RBA minutes drive the Aussie side, while RBNZ OCR decisions and GDT dairy auctions drive the Kiwi side. Daily ranges are modest at 30-60 pips, making it a favorite among range traders. The pair is almost exclusively traded during the Sydney-Wellington session, with liquidity dropping sharply outside Asian hours.
