Market participants are eagerly awaiting the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) interest rate decision, due on Wednesday at 02:00 GMT, as it is expected to be a “close call” for the central bank.
The RBNZ is expected to hold the Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 5.50%, maintaining that level since May 2023. However, the market is heavily divided, with analysts and industry experts anticipating a rates on-hold decision. A Reuters poll of 31 analysts, found 12 predicting a cut with the rest supporting the status quo.
