NZD USD Falls After Fed’s News

The NZD USD trading pair glided through the first half of yesterday’s trading with the help of RBNZ news. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand said on Wednesday that it will hold on to its current cash rates.

The 1% cash rates of the RBNZ will remain as it is, maintaining record lows. The news caused the NZD USD to sail in positive territories in the early trading sessions.

However, after the news from the United States Federal Reserve and Trump’s impeachment came, the NZD USD quickly slumped. The greenback steadied on the latter half of Wednesday’s trading but remained on the defensive.

The NZD USD exchange rate went down by 0.50% or 0.0031 points in sessions. The NZD USD pair recorded levels from $0.6290 to $0.6349 in yesterday’s trading.

The US House of Representatives will launch a formal request for the impeachment inquiry over Trump’s presidency. According to reports, Trump sought help from Ukraine to form a smear campaign against former Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden is the front runner for the presidential election in 2020 for the Democratic party. Trump has denied the claims of the House of Representatives.

Critics still say that it is unlikely that the impeachment case will remove Trump from his post. However, the news was enough to support the dollar.
