“News of missile attacks on Ukrainian cities yesterday only add to the USD’s safe-haven appeal.”
“In our view, the RBNZ said ‘all the right things’ last week, and are clearly determined to get on top of rampant inflation, but markets continue to fret about recession risks, and at the same time, US interest rates continue to rise, undermining higher kiwi rates.”
