AUD/NZD Historical Data Downloader

A desktop app that downloads Australian Dollar vs New Zealand Dollar (AUD/NZD) price history on your own machine, written straight to your disk as CSV or JSON. Daily and monthly AUD/NZD candles reach back to 1993-12-21 — around 33 years — while quote-level tick history begins 2006-12-12. A complete AUD/NZD 1-minute series is roughly 7.2M rows, about 361 MB as CSV.

Or work out the size first: the file-size calculator takes a range and returns the row count and CSV size.

AUD/NZD coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe

AUD/NZD does not start at the same date at every granularity: daily candles begin 1993-12-21, but the tick archive only reaches 2006-12-12, roughly 13 years later. Each row below gives that timeframe's own start date and scale, current through 2026-11-02:

Counts are approximate, derived from forex session hours across the available history. Tick and 1-second runs are queued and resumable rather than fetched in one pass. See the data methodology for how candles are built.

Working with the AUD/NZD series

The antipodean cross is FX's closest thing to a pairs trade: two small, commodity-linked, geographically-twinned economies whose currencies rarely stray far apart — for three decades the pair has lived in a band from roughly parity to the mid-1.30s, narrow by cross standards. What moves it is the RBA-RBNZ policy differential, which makes it a favourite for rate-spread models and a graveyard for trend followers. The band's edges have been retested for decades; the middle is where it spends its life.

AUD/NZD tick and 1-minute data

Ticks and 1-minute candles both start 2006-12-12; the full 1-minute run is 7.2M rows, about 361 MB as CSV. Daily candles reach back to 1993-12-21, and the whole daily history is 8,300 rows, about 414 KB as CSV.

Both rate decisions land in the UTC night

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand announces its Official Cash Rate at 2:00 pm New Zealand time, seven times a year (eight from 2027); the Reserve Bank of Australia at 2:30 pm Sydney time, eight times a year since 2024. In UTC that is 01:00 or 02:00 for the RBNZ and 03:30 or 04:30 for the RBA, depending on the season. The pair's largest scheduled moves therefore happen hours before London opens, and a session filter that starts the trading day at the European open silently discards them.

The week opens in Wellington — on its own clock

The forex week begins on Sunday evening UTC as Wellington opens, followed by Sydney, so AUD/NZD's two home markets are the first to price whatever happened over the weekend. Monday's first bars carry those gaps; they are real, not missing data, and a backtest that holds over weekends has to take them. Daylight saving complicates the timing twice over: New Zealand's summer time runs from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April, Sydney's from the first Sunday in October. For about a week every spring the two cities are three hours apart instead of two, and both run on the opposite schedule to Europe — so the gap between the Sydney and London opens changes by two hours across a year, and a session window fixed in UTC is right for part of it at most.

A narrow range makes the spread the story

AUD/NZD moves less in a typical day than the majors do, so the bid–ask spread is a much larger share of each move. A strategy that looks profitable on one-sided candles can be entirely consumed by the spread in practice. Test it on both sides of the quote, and measure the real spread from the tick file (askPrice − bidPrice) — especially in the thin hour after the New York close.

Is AUD/NZD historical data free?

The app is a free download and the data comes straight from Dukascopy Bank SA to your disk, never through our servers. Every licence, including the €9 entry tier, reaches the whole AUD/NZD archive at every timeframe — tiers differ by software features, never by history.

What's inside the AUD/NZD file

timestamp,open,high,low,close,volume

One row per candle, stamped with the bar's opening time; tick files instead carry timestamp,askPrice,bidPrice,askVolume,bidVolume on every quote — ask first. Timestamps are epoch milliseconds in UTC, which pd.to_datetime(df.timestamp, unit="ms", utc=True) or =A2/86400000+DATE(1970,1,1) turns into a date. Worked examples and import steps are in the CSV & JSON format guide.

Frequently asked questions

How far back does AUD/NZD data go?

AUD/NZD daily and monthly candles reach back to 1993-12-21 — roughly 33 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2006-12-12. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.

Why does AUD/NZD tick data start later than its daily candles?

Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly AUD/NZD candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 1993-12-21, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2006-12-12, about 13 years later. If your study needs the full 33-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2006-12-12 is the earliest AUD/NZD start date available.

How large is a full AUD/NZD download?

The complete AUD/NZD 1-minute history is roughly 7.2M rows, about 361 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 8,300 rows, 414 KB. Tick and 1-second runs are larger again and are queued and resumable rather than fetched in one pass. Sizes are approximate; nothing is priced by volume.

What columns are in the AUD/NZD CSV file?

OHLC files contain a timestamp plus open, high, low and close columns (with volume); tick files contain a timestamp with bid and ask prices. All timestamps are UTC. The files import directly into Excel, Google Sheets, Python (pandas read_csv), R, MetaTrader, NinjaTrader and TradingView.
