NZDUSD questions

NZDUSD is the price of one NZD in USD. NZD is the base currency and USD is the quote currency, so the price tells you how many US dollars one NZD costs.

Each broker quotes its own bid and ask from its own liquidity providers, so prices can differ a little from broker to broker. The prices here are indicative bid quotes. Spreads also widen around big news and when the market opens.

NZDUSD trades 24 hours a day, five days a week, from 17:00 New York time on Sunday to 17:00 New York time on Friday. It is busiest when London and New York are both open, roughly 12:00 to 16:00 UTC.

On most brokers one standard lot of NZDUSD is 100,000 NZD, so a one pip move (0.0001) is worth $10.00 a lot, and 0.01 lots moves $0.10 a pip. Check your broker's contract size before you trade.
