Aussie hits six-month high meanwhile kiwi drops on U.S. rate cut speculation

The Australian dollar held near six-month peaks on Friday, driven by market speculation around potential U.S. rate cuts. In contrast, the New Zealand dollar experienced significant declines due to expectations of steeper cuts domestically. The Aussie stood at $0.6762, after hitting a high of $0.6799 overnight. Support levels are identified around $0.6714, with resistance up at a high from last December at $0.6871. This positioning reflects market confidence in the Australian economy amidst U.S. monetary policy adjustments. On the other hand, the New Zealand dollar wallowed at $0.6087, having shed 0.9% for the week so far. Key support levels are noted at $0.6065 and $0.6018, indicating a bearish trend driven by domestic monetary policy outlooks. Read more about the Australian and New Zealand dollars updates here.
