New Zealand Dollar steadies against US Dollar as markets await Fed decision

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) steadied against the US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday, trading around 0.5755 without a clear trend as investors waited for the Federal Reserve's decision. The USD also paused after nearing a two-week high. Analysts expect the Fed to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the target range to 3.75%-4%.

Attention was drawn to the departure of Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) Assistant Governor Karen Silk, who was seen as a hawkish voice on monetary policy. Her exit could affect the central bank's future decisions as investors anticipate further interest rate hikes.
