Aussie hits six-month high meanwhile kiwi drops on U.S. rate cut speculation
The Australian dollar held near six-month peaks on Friday, driven by market speculation around potential U.S. rate cuts. In contrast, the New Zealand dollar experienced significant declines due to expectations of steeper cuts domestically. The Aussie stood at $0.6762, after hitting a high of $0.6799 overnight. Support levels are identified around $0.6714, with resistance up at a high from last December at $0.6871.
