The data released by Caixin Insight Group on Monday revealed that China’s manufacturing PMI increased to 50.5 in August in August. This figure was better than an estimate of 49.5.

Markets hope that the Fed will resume in the September meeting to reduce its benchmark interest rate. Fed Governor Christopher Waller reiterated his support for a cut on Thursday, saying that he would entertain a big step if the labor market figures were weak. Meanwhile, Francisco Fed president Mary Daily said that policy makers would soon be ready to cut interest rates, saying that inflation arising from tariff would prove temporary.
The US individual consumption expenditure (PCE) report released on Friday revealed that the US inflation was stable in July, but the US central bank had a 2% target.

New Zealand Dollar FAQ
New Zealand Dollar (NZD), also known as Kiwi, is a famous business currency among investors. Its value is broadly determined by the health of New Zealand’s economy and the central bank policy of the country. Nevertheless, there are some unique specialties that can also carry NZD forward. The performance of the Chinese economy moves Kiwi as China is New Zealand’s largest trading partner. Bad news for the possibility of Chinese economy means that New Zealand exports to the country, kills the economy and thus its currency. Another factor that pursues NZD is dairy prices as the dairy industry is the main export of New Zealand. High dairy prices promote export income, contribute to the economy positively and thus in NZD.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) aims to obtain and maintain inflation rate between 1% and 3% in the medium period, focusing on keeping it near 2% middle-point. To end this, the bank determines a reasonable level of interest rates. When inflation is very high, the RBNZ will increase the interest rates to cool the economy, but the move will also increase the yield of bonds, which will increase the appeal of investors to invest in the country and thus boost the NZD. Conversely, low interest rate weakens NZD. The difference of so -called rate, or in New Zealand, can also play an important role in transferring the NZD/USD pair as compared to the people determined by the US Federal Reserve as compared to the rates in New Zealand.
Macroeconomic data release in New Zealand is important for assessing the status of the economy and can affect New Zealand dollar (NZ) evaluation. A strong economy is good for NZD based on high economic growth, low unemployment and high confidence. High economic growth attracts foreign investment and can encourage the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to increase interest rates, if this economic strength comes with high inflation. Conversely, if the economic data is weak, the NZD is likely to depreciate.
New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is stronger during the risk-trans-period, or when investors feel that comprehensive market risks are low and is optimistic about development. It leads to a more favorable approach to objects and so -called ‘commodity currencies’ such as kiwi. In contrast, NZD becomes weak in the time of market disturbance or economic uncertainty as investors sell high-risk property and run away for more safe havens.
