Federal Reserve Chairman Mossallem: I expect the Fed to maintain its commitment to its dual mandate under the new chairman.Federal Reserves Mussalem: I look forward to knowing what Warshs priorities will be.Federal Reserve Chairman Mossallem: Financial conditions are accommodative, with regulatory easing and fiscal tailwinds.On February 26th, Federal Reserve Chairman Schmid stated on Wednesday that excessive inflation remains a key issue the Fed needs to address, but he did not specify how monetary policy should respond. Schmid said, "I think we still have work to do on inflation," while adding, "I think the employment situation is quite good." He did not explain how these factors influence his assessment of the monetary policy outlook. Schmid had previously expressed skepticism about the Feds rate cuts last year, when officials lowered the target interest rate range to 3.5% to 3.75%. Markets expect further rate cuts this year, but officials have provided little guidance. Schmid also discussed the Feds balance sheet, saying internal discussions focused on understanding the appropriate level of reserves needed for the financial system. He pointed out that the large amount of mortgage-backed securities held by the Fed in its past bond-buying activities continues to depress home borrowing costs. Given the current size of the Feds mortgage-backed securities holdings, mortgage rates "may be 75 to 100 basis points lower than they would have been."The Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the Iranian delegation and foreign minister have arrived in Geneva.

Bears on the AUD/NZD pair are watching 1.1080

The AUD/NZD exchange rate is stable at the Tokyo open and has fluctuated today between 1.1091 and 1.1115 as a result of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's projections for inflation at the beginning of the week and strong Chinese data.

 

According to analysts at Westpac, as inflation expectations fall, the RBNZ will become more assured that the risks of high inflation becoming ingrained in the economy are waning. This is especially relevant in light of the multi-decade high actual inflation rate and related concerns of a wage-price spiral, analysts said.

 

Analysts did note, however, that the poll "The evidence that there are still strong inflation pressures in the New Zealand economy supports raising interest rates. At the RBNZ policy meeting the following week, a further 50bp increase is anticipated.

 

The New Zealand dollar has since made up all of the losses suffered after Friday's strong US Nonfarm Payrolls report. US bond yields have decreased, which has led to a rise in risk and a decline in the value of the dollar. The most recent surge in NZD strength, according to analysts at ANZ Bank, appears to be the outcome of a stronger AUD, which has reclaimed the lead as markets take in strong Chinese trade data.

 

"Before the critical US Consumer Price data for July is released tomorrow evening, it is doubtful that the NZD will increase much. The Fed's (and the US bond market's) main concern is that monthly core readings will continue to be elevated, even though annual headline inflation may calm down. The specifics will determine if this results in a resurgence of USD strength.
