The New Zealand dollar eased to around $0.599 on Wednesday, snapping a three-day winning streak, as investors digested mixed signals from domestic labor market data. New Zealand’s unemployment rate held steady at 5.1% in the first quarter, but better than forecasts of 5.3%, while employment rose by 0.1%, matching estimates. However, other details pointed to a weak job market, with wage growth slowing faster than expected. Markets are still pricing in a 25bps rate cut by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand later this month, with about three rate cuts anticipated by year-end.
