NZDUSD
The New Zealand Dollar weakened against the US Dollar on Friday, with NZD/USD trading near 0.5830, a 0.19% decline for the session. The movement was driven by a wave of risk aversion following fresh US military strikes on Iran.
Investors moved into safe-haven assets such as the US dollar, putting pressure on higher-beta currencies like the Kiwi. The geopolitical development overshadowed any domestic economic factors, keeping the pair subdued.
Market participants continue to monitor developments in the Middle East for further cues on risk sentiment and potential currency volatility.
