About Australian Dollar / New Zealand Dollar
AUD/NZD is the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar. The price shows how many New Zealand dollars one Australian dollar buys: when AUDNZD rises, the Australian dollar is strengthening against the New Zealand dollar; when it falls, it is weakening.
AUD/NZD is a cross pair: neither side is the US dollar, so its price reflects the balance between Australia and New Zealand directly. The Australian dollar is closely linked to commodity exports such as iron ore and to demand from China, Australia's largest trading partner. The New Zealand dollar reflects an economy built heavily on agricultural exports such as dairy, and it tends to move with global risk appetite.
On Xellion's MT5 platform AUDNZD is traded as a CFD, so you can go long or short without exchanging either currency. One standard lot is 100,000 Australian dollars, and one pip is 0.0001.
