GBP/NZD: the macro gap
On the Macro Currency Strength Meter, the British Pound scores -14 and the New Zealand Dollar scores +27 — a gap of 41 points in favour of the New Zealand Dollar. The widest divergence is in interest rates, which favours the New Zealand Dollar. All else equal that gap is a fundamental tailwind for the New Zealand Dollar against the British Pound — though markets may already have priced much of it in.
