纽币/美元 (NZDUSD) 加自选

新西兰元保持在0.61美元左右，徘徊在两个月来的最高水平，因为最新的美国经济报告对美联储持温和态度，并对美元构成压力。周三，数据显示，美国4月消费者价格通胀略有缓解，零售销售出乎意料地持平，这提高了人们对美联储今年将两次降息的预期。从外部来看，人民币走强也提振了新西兰经济，此前有报道称，中国政府正在考虑购买未售出的房屋，以缓解供应过剩。在国内，人们普遍预计新西兰储备银行将在5月22日的会议上将利率维持在5.5%。在有证据表明通胀率将持续保持在2%左右之前，政策制定者不愿意开始降息。尽管如此，最新数据显示，该国第二季度2年期通胀预期降至近三年来的最低水平，这加剧了人们对新西兰储备银行可能考虑在今年晚些时候降低利率的猜测。

The New Zealand dollar held around $0.61, hovering at its strongest levels in two months, as the latest US economic reports were dovish for the Fed and weighed on the greenback. On Wednesday, data revealed that US consumer price inflation eased slightly in April and retail sales was unexpectedly flat, raising expectations that the Fed will cut interest rates two times this year. Externally, the Kiwi also received a boost from the stronger Yuan, following reports that China's government is considering buying unsold homes to ease oversupply. At home, the RBNZ is widely expected to maintain its interest rate at 5.5% in its meeting on May 22nd. Policymakers are reluctant to start cutting rates until there is evidence that inflation will remain sustainably around 2%. Still, newer data showed that the country's Q2 2-year inflation expectations fell to their lowest level in almost three years, fueling speculation that the RBNZ might consider lowering rates later this year.
