NZDUSD Technical Analysis – The USD gains on lower 50 bps probabilities | Forexlive

Fundamental
Overview

The NFP report on Friday gave the USD a boost as
the data under the hood was better than feared. The probabilities for a 50 bps
cut decreased as a result and they are now standing around 27%.

A soft US CPI report
tomorrow might increase those probabilities a little bit, but we will still
head into the FOMC decision with a 25 bps cut as the most probable scenario.

Nevertheless, the trend in
the labour market remains skewed to the downside and time will tell if the
Fed’s cuts will be enough to stop this trend.

For the Fed, the market
sees a 73% probability of a 25 bps cut at the upcoming meeting and a total of
110 bps of easing by year-end. For the RBNZ, there’s a 78% chance of a 25 bps
cut at the upcoming meeting with a total of 80 bps of easing expected by
year-end.
