RBNZ to Hold Rates at 5.50%

Updated Monday, November 27, 2023
EVENT ENDED
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has been keeping interest rates on hold at 1.75% for many months but last month they delivered a surprise rate cut to 1.50% which caught the market by surprise. The RBA also cut interest rates in June and they did so again in the following meeting. Besides that, they tied their next rate move on the FED. The FED cut interest rates in the July meeting, and the RBA followed suit since they followed the FED. The RBNZ might do the same thing as well, although no move is expected in this meeting. The RBNZ cut interest rates again in August from 1.50% to 1.00% and in March they delivered an even larger cut of 75 bps, bringing them to 0.25%. But, the coronavirus was held out of New Zealand largely, so there's no reason for the RBNZ to cut rates again now. Although, there have been some strong measures in Auckland, so let's see what the RBNZ has to say about it, since the RBA pledged to remain dovish until at least 2024. They kept raising rates until June when they reached 5.50% but, expectations are for them to stop here. Please follow us for live coverage of this event by experienced analysts.
