The Pulse of the Forex Market

The Dollar Watch is a graphical representation of my estimate regarding US Dollar strength or weakness before the open of the North American markets. A high number of colored bars would indicate a better position for the USD versus all major currencies. Vice versa a low number of colored bars would indicate a weak average against major currencies.

New Zealand Official Cash Rate

Posted on September 9th, 2008 at 11:32 am by Alfonso Esparza

UPDATE: In a surprise move by the RBNZ the Official Cash Rate was reduced by 50bp to 7.50%

As the highest Interest Rate in the developed world, all eyes will turn to New Zealand on September 10th when the RBNZ will announce if there are any changes to its Monetary Policy. Currently the rate is 8.00%.

The FXEconostats Graph of the New Zealand Official Cash Rate shows that the Central Bank increased the rate on March 8th, 2007 to 7.50% and continued to hike it, until it reached a 8.25% high on July 26th, 2007. The Cash Rate remained at that level for a year, when it was cut by 25bp to 8.00%.
