Investors need to pay attention to the minutes of the RBA meeting during the Asian session on Tuesday, which may have some impact on the movements of the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar.

The RBA left interest rates unchanged on February 4th, but the RBA believes that the Australian economy, jobs and sales have all shown signs of improvement, which boosted market optimism and contributed to a rebound in the Australian dollar in the short term. However, relevant institutions believe that weak wages and poor inflation in Australia still need to be on guard against the risk of interest rate cuts in May, but RBA Chairman Lowe's recent speech is skewed towards hawks, which has significantly cooled the RBA's interest rate cut expectations for the first half of the year. Investors can look for more clues in the minutes of the meeting.

There are also reports that a meeting of EU finance ministers will be held on Tuesday. EU finance ministers will warn of the need to prepare for a more severe global economic slowdown than expected, according to an EU document seen by well-known foreign media.
