The NZD/USD pair gains traction near 0.6055 on Wednesday during the early European trading hours. The pair edges higher for the second consecutive day and holds above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), supported by the softer USD Index (DXY) below the 105.00 level. The final reading of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Retail Sales for April will be in the spotlight later on Wednesday.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell said on Tuesday that inflation in the US might prove to be more persistent than expected, keeping the Fed holding rate higher for longer to achieve the central bank’s 2% target. Powell added that it is unlikely to hike rates more, even if the chances for rate cuts have become less. Investors have priced in nearly a 65% chance of a rate cut by the Fed in September 2024, according to the CME's FedWatch Tool.
The US Producer Price Index (PPI), wholesale inflation, hit its highest rate in a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday. The annual PPI rose 2.2% YoY in April, compared to the 1.8% increase in March (revised from 2.1%), in line with the estimate. The Core PPI jumped 2.4% YoY in April, compared to an increase of 2.1% in the previous reading. The April CPI data might offer some hints about future monetary policy by the Fed. The hotter inflation outcome could delay the rate cut timeline for this year and lift the Greenback against its rivals.
On the Kiwi front, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will hold its meeting next week. Westpac analysts expect the RBNZ will leave the Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged at 5.5% at its May meeting. The New Zealand central bank is likely to remain comfortable with the forward outlook communicated in the February meeting. The markets believe that it is unlikely that the RBNZ will ease its policy before the Fed. This, in turn, might provide some support to the Kiwi and act as a tailwind for NZD/USD for the time being.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
