New Zealand's dollar dropped sharply from a four-week high after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand reduced the key cash rate and flagged more cuts to come, surprising some market participants. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's decision to not run for reelection in his party's leadership race next month had little effect on markets, analysts said.
