The Reserve Bank of New Zealand said on Tuesday it saw no immediate need to request the reinstatement of a U.S. dollar swap line that expired in 2021, weighing on the kiwi.

Further, antipodeans under pressure as investors continued to assess the impact of the recent global banking turmoil.

Caution prevails ahead of Wednesday's FOMC meeting where the market anticipates a 25 basis point (bps) rate hike.

Major attention will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference, for any unexpected comments that could trigger market volatility.
