Both Australia and New Zealand economies depend heavily on trade as they are leading exporters of key commodities into the international market. Whenever either country posts a strong trade surplus, i.e. by generating higher exports than imports, it contributes to its GDP and serves to strengthen its economy. For instance, a higher trade surplus in Australia boosts its economy and strengthens the AUD in turn, causing AUD/NZD to trade bullish.
Although the AUD and NZD share a close correlation with each other, this currency pair sees significant volatility as both the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar are commodity currencies. As a result, the pair can see unexpected levels of volatility, and requires considerable fundamental and technical expertise to trade successfully.
