Kiwi has room to rise in 2024, but not without volatility
We think the NZD has room to rise in 2024, but not without volatility. Our year-end forecast for NZD/USD is 0.63 in 2024.
A global rebound in risk appetite and the NZD’s high carry leverage we expect to lead to upside in 2024. Our bearish USD outlook and a positive cyclical outlook bodes well for high beta currencies like the NZD.
