According to CoinMeta, the New Zealand dollar against the US dollar ($NZD/USD) performed strongly during the Asian trading session, despite traders still awaiting the official results of New Zealand's general election on Saturday. Sean Carroll, a senior currency strategist at ITC Markets, stated that traders are betting that the center-right National Party will win with the support of smaller parties. If the Labour Party loses, the policy authority of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will not be expanded to include the goal of "full employment." It is expected that if the National Party comes to power, it will maintain a policy framework centered around the "inflation target."
