On Wednesday, the currency pair NZD/USD managed to go up in Asia following a Reserve Bank of New Zealand verdict earlier in the day.

Adrian Orr, RBNZ Governor also underpinned the major bank’s outlook and told that the chances of a rate cut hadn’t soared, while risks are quite balanced.
The currency pair NZD/USD was last seen at 0.6845, heading north by 1.7% due to the fact that financial markets were set for a much more dovish RBNZ.
