The NZD/USD pair recovers at a faster pace after plunging to near 0.5850 in Monday’s New York session. The Kiwi asset bounces back strongly after posting a fresh nine-month low as the US Dollar (USD) weakens on expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) could announce an emergency rate-cut decision due to growing fears of a United States (US) economic slowdown.
