NZD/USD trading at its lowest in two weeks NZDUSD BOJ Fed Sentiment
and trades at around 0.6220 ahead of Tuesday's opening. The Kiwi lost the most during European trading hours despite financial markets in the Old Continent remaining closed due to the Easter Monday Holiday.
The main market driver at the beginning of the week was the Japanese yen, which edged lower following comments from the new Bank of Japan Governor, Kazuo Ueda, replacing Haruhiko Kuroda. Among other things, Ueda said that he has agreed with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that there is no immediate need to change the 2013 joint statement with the government. Furthermore, he noted that a small rate hike would not be a big issue for the financial system, quite relevant after a decade of ultra-loose monetary tightening in the country.
The US Dollar benefited from JPY's broad weakness and speculation that most major central banks will soon hit the pause bottom amid the increased risk of a global recession. Central banks had started retrieving monetary support in 2022 to tame inflation, and most of them stand halfway towards their goals. Still, continued tightening has resulted in a banking crisis, while growth has turned sluggish.
