# Australia, NZ dollars seen down slightly this year: poll - The Business Times

> A Reuters poll of 50 analysts sees the Australian dollar slipping to US$0.7300 in one month and US$0.7200 in three months. The New Zealand dollar is forecast to drop toward 69 US cents, with both currencies' relatively high yields limiting the decline.
