Kiwi

Kiwi is a common trading slang used to refer to the New Zealand dollar (NZD) in the Forex market. The nickname comes from the kiwi bird, a national symbol of New Zealand. It is widely recognized by traders around the world. When someone says they’re trading the “Kiwi,” they usually mean they are involved in a currency pair that includes the NZD—most often NZD/USD.
