Understanding the pair
In AUD/NZD the Australian Dollar is the base currency and the New Zealand Dollar is the quote currency. The rate tells you how many NZD one AUD buys, so a rising AUD/NZD means the Australian Dollar is strengthening against the New Zealand Dollar.
AUD/NZD is a minor (cross) pair: it combines two major currencies without the US dollar, so its rate is effectively the product of two dollar pairs and spreads are typically a little wider than the majors. In practice its price moves with AUD/USD and USD/NZD (or their inverses).
Prices are quoted to 5 decimal places here. One pip is 0.0001, so on a standard lot of 100,000 AUD a one-pip move is worth 10 NZD — use the pip calculator to convert that into your account currency.
Both currencies are most actively traded during the Sydney (07:00–16:00 Sydney time) session. See live session times on the market hours clock.
Often treated as a commodity and China-sensitive currency because Australia is a large exporter of iron ore, coal and LNG. It tends to be sensitive to global growth and risk sentiment.
Central bank: Reserve Bank of Australia
The 'kiwi' reflects an export economy built on dairy and agriculture. Wellington is the first major centre to open each trading week, so NZD liquidity is thin early on Monday (Asia-Pacific time).
Central bank: Reserve Bank of New Zealand
AUD/NZD shows how many New Zealand Dollar (NZD) one Australian Dollar (AUD) buys. AUD is the base currency and NZD is the quote currency. If the rate rises, the Australian Dollar has strengthened against the New Zealand Dollar.
No. It is derived from the euro foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank once per working day around 16:00 CET. It is useful for reference, budgeting and calculator inputs, but it is not an executable trading quote — a broker's bid and ask will differ.
By convention one pip in AUD/NZD is 0.0001 because the pair is quoted in NZD. On a standard lot of 100,000 AUD, a one-pip move is worth 10 NZD. Brokers may quote an extra decimal (a pipette).
Both currencies have their home market in the Sydney (07:00–16:00 Sydney time) session, so liquidity is typically deepest then. The pair still trades around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening (New York time).
