The Australian and NZ dollars fell against their major
counterparts in the Asian session on Thursday, as Asian markets
followed Wall Street lower, after the Fed warned of a slowdown in
the pace of the economic recovery in the wake of the coronavirus
pandemic.
The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged, but highlighted the
recent worsening of the economic data amid the ongoing crisis.
The central bank cautioned that the pace of the recovery in
economic activity and employment has moderated in recent
months.
The economy was still a long way from a complete recovery, which
depends prominently on the course of the virus.
Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that

for a fall of 2.4 percent after sinking 3.5 percent in the three
months prior.

Exports fell NZ$149 million or 2.7 percent on year to NZ$5.35
billion, while imports rose NZ$213 million or 4.2 percent to
NZ$5.33 billion.
