The NZD/USD cleared daily losses and jumped to positive territory towards the 0.6220 area.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) hiked rates by 25 basis points (bps) to the 5.25-5.50% target. In the presser, Jerome Powell didn’t commit to further hikes noting that ongoing decisions will depend fully on incoming data.
Regarding his economic assessment, he noted that economic activity remains robust, the labour tight, and inflation elevated. In addition, he stated that the Fed expect some “softening” of the labour market and some below-the-trend growth.
During the presser, the US Treasury yields fell sharply, which applied pressure on the USD. The 2-year yield fell to 4.86%, while the 5 and 10-year rates fell to 4.10% and 3.86%, all three with more than 0.50% losses.
According to the daily chart, the outlook is neutral to bearish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) Index is in positive territory, slightly above the middle line.

On the bigger picture, the pair holds above the 20,100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), which suggests that the buyers are in command.
