The news on this is here:
Adding in a few more comments from ANZ:
- As expected, the RBNZ delivered another 50bp cut in the OCR to 4.25% at its
November Monetary Policy Statement – a Statement that had something for
everyone, making it difficult to label as either “hawkish” or “dovish” relative to
expectations. - The updated OCR track implies slightly more than even odds of yet another
50bp cut in February (certainly more than the 25bp cut signalled in August),
but at 3.06% the terminal OCR is 8bp higher. - However, while the published OCR track might have been non-committal
about what the 19 February MPS will bring, RBNZ communications
subsequent to its publication have been anything but. Senior figures have
reiterated at every opportunity that a third 50bp cut is the default
expectation, should the data evolve as expected.
