"There is no change in policy expected, but markets will be looking for a dovish tilt to the outlook, given the global backdrop," ANZ Bank New Zealand agri economist Con Williams and senior FX strategist Sam Tuck said in a note.
"Should this fail to eventuate then this cross will remain under-pressure."
ANZ expects the kiwi to trade between 91.60 Australian cents and 92.80 cents today.
