NZD/USD faces a challenge due to the stronger US Dollar.
Fed Chair Powell mentioned that there is no plan for an immediate rate hike.
Upbeat US Treasury yields contribute support for the Greenback.
NZD/USD continues to move on the downward trajectory that began on October 17, trading lower around 0.5820 during the European session on Monday. The pair gains ground as the US Dollar rebounds, driven by higher US Treasury yields. Additionally, increased risk aversion, stemming from the Israel-Hamas military situation, contributes to the NZD/USD pair’s gains.
The mixed remarks from US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials regarding the interest rates trajectory could limit the losses of the NZD/USD pair. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic suggested that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to lower interest rates before the middle of next year, and Fed Philadelphia President Patrick Harker expressed a preference for maintaining unchanged interest rates.
Furthermore, Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell clarified in the previous week that the central bank is not planning an immediate rate hike, emphasizing the potential for further tightening of monetary policy in response to signs of growth.
The US Dollar Index (DXY) trims intraday gains, trading lower around 106.10 at the time of writing. However, the Greenback received upward support due to the positive momentum in US Treasury yields, with the 10-year US Treasury yield standing at 4.97%, up by 1.22% by the press time.

This data has prompted investors to adjust their expectations for a November interest rate hike by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), leading to downward pressure on the NZD/USD pair.
