\n Share:<\/span><\/p>\n The NZD\/USD pair gained strong positive traction during the Asian session on Monday and climbed to the 0.6175 region in the last hour, snapping a two-day losing streak to a one-and-a-half-week low.<\/p>\n The US Dollar<\/a> (USD) comes under some selling pressure on the first day of a new week and for now, seems to have stalled its recent recovery from the lowest level since May 11 touched last Thursday. A modest downtick in US Treasury bond yields is seen as a key factor weighing on the Greenback and lending support to the NZD\/USD pair.

Apart from this, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hawkish Outlook<\/a> should limit the USD losses and keep a lid on the NZD\/USD pair.<\/p>\n It is worth recalling that the Fed earlier this month decided to pause its rate-hiking cycle but signaled that borrowing costs may still need to rise as much as 50 bps by the end of this year.

Powell added that the Fed doesn’t see rate cuts happening anytime soon and will wait until it is confident that inflation is moving down to the 2% target.<\/p>\n Apart from this, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) explicit signal that it was done with its most aggressive hiking cycle since 1999 warrants caution before placing aggressive bullish bets around the NZD\/USD pair. In the absence of any relevant macro data from the US, this makes it prudent to wait for strong follow-through buying to confirm that the recent sharp pullback from the vicinity of the mid-0.6200s, or the monthly swing high, has run its course. .
