Another spike in inflation won't stop the Reserve Bank from cutting the Official Cash Rate again next month. Stats NZ is providing its latest quarterly CPI update at 10.45. Most economists expect it to hit the Reserve Bank's upper limit of three-percent, and some think it will surpass that limit. But Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold told Mike Hosking the Reserve Bank still thinks the economy's weak enough to start pushing inflation down. He says even the Reserve Bank probably won't be too bothered, even if inflation surpasses the three-percent limit. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a move that was widely predicted - but comes amid enormous economic upheaval with Trump's tariffs sending markets into a spin. While previously most forecasts didn't expect a lot more cuts from here, commentators now say the international financial turmoil caused by the US could actually mean the OCR goes even lower than expected. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds has more.

It was a wild week in global markets. The RBA left the cash rate on hold on Tuesday, but the news was quickly swamped by news of President Trump's so called 'reciprocal tariffs' on Thursday morning Sydney time. Amongst all this, there was a string of local economic data in Australia. In this week's podcast, Senior Economist Belinda Allen and Economist Harry Ottley sit down to make sense of a very busy week.  ------ DISCLAIMER ------  Important Information    This podcast is approved and distributed by Global Economic & Markets Research (“GEMR”), a business division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124 AFSL 234945 (“the Bank”).   Before listening to this podcast, you are advised to read the full GEMR disclaimers, which can be found at www.commbankresearch.com.au.   No Reliance   Information in this podcast is of a general nature only.

The Reserve bank delivered a pre Christmas financial cracker, cutting wholesale interest rates by half a percent to 4.25 percent. It wasn't the supersized slash that some had hoped for but it is the third rate drop since August. Kiwibank Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr spoke to Lisa Owen.

The OCR goes up to bring inflation down. So now that the OCR is falling, what does it mean for inflation - and what does that mean for New Zealanders? 

The Official Cash Rate is on its way down. The Reserve Bank has cut the OCR by 50-basis points, from 5.25 to 4.75%. It says inflation is within its 1-3% target range and this cut will help maintain that while avoiding unnecessary instability in parts of the economy. Katlyn Parker of Milford Asset Management joined Jack Tame to unpack the cut and the impact it will have on the market. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kiwibank has already made a cut ahead of this afternoon's OCR announcement. The Reserve Bank is set to announce a cut to the Official Cash Rate, with economists and the market predicting a cut of 50 basis points. Kiwibank has taken 50 basis points off their floating loan rates, potentially pre-empting the bank's decision. CEO Steve Jurkovich told Mike Hosking that they'd be disappointed if the Reserve Bank were to only cut by 25 points. He said that people, businesses, and their customers are really, really hoping for 50, and he thinks it's the right thing to do. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Reserve Bank has held the cash rate steady, as expected by economists, with a warning: inflation remains too high. While central banks around the world have already started cutting rates, RBA governor Michelle Bullock says they also raised rates much higher than in Australia.

The Australian Reserve Bank has held the cash rate at 4.35 percent after its latest board meeting, citing concerns about inflation. This  seventh consecutive hold was widely tipped by economists - and they haven't ruled out additional increases either.

Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr is defending his change of tune on the Official Cash Rate.  He's cut the OCR to 5.25%.  Some economists are criticising the suddenness of the change of direction, with Brad Olsen calling on the central bank to take accountability for radically changing its forecast without a radical change in circumstances.  But Orr told Mike Hosking the situation has changed since his last Monetary Policy Statement, three months ago.  He says plenty of time and information has changed since May, and the Reserve Bank has communicated that in its Monetary Policy Review in July.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the start of a significant turnaround for the economy - as the Reserve Bank slashes the OCR for the first time since 2020. It's dropped the cash rate 25-basis points to 5.25 percent. Former Reserve Bank economist, Michael Reddell says Governor Orr's post-announcement claims about the economy don't stack up. "It's not as if some big event has happened externally, it's just that they badly misread what was going on in the economy - and it's pretty inexcusable."

ASB is welcoming the news that the Reserve Bank has cut the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points. This comes after the bank's run of record annual profits ended with a 10 percent fall in its cash profit as borrowing demand slowed down. Chief Executive Vittoria Shortt says today's OCR cut comes at a perfect time. "I think it's a really good thing for New Zealand households and New Zealand businesses.

As I discussed on my live show, on Tuesday night with Leith van Onselen, the RBA decided to hold the cash rate at 4.35%, but there were signs of a more hawkish tone from the meeting notes, and the subsequent press conference (which I might add is becoming less useful each time thanks to weak … Continue reading "Is A 5% Cash Rate For Australia On The Cards?"

Yesterday the Reserve Bank of Australia announced that they were holding the cash rate at 4.35% - the same position since November, 2023.  While this decision came as no shock to the majority of economists, it was anticipated that cash rates would be falling by the end of 2024.

The ANZ Bank has changed its official cash rate (OCR) forecast, now expecting the first cut to arrive in February, rather than May 2025.  Meanwhile, The European Central Bank has cut interest rates for the first time in five years, and the Bank of Canada has become the first G7 nation to cut rates.  ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner told Heather du Plessis-Allan “Essentially the Reserve bank's mandate is to get inflation under control.”  Zollner said “It's the mix of inflation that matters – oil price is the biggie, which they can't influence. But homegrown inflation is very slow to fall.”  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Infometrics predict the official cash rate (OCR) won't move until February next year - rather than this November.  Non-tradeable inflation (inflation that is domestic and not influenced by international factors) has caused issues for the Reserve Bank – say business commentators.   It makes up almost 60% of the consumer price index (CPI), which the Reserve Bank is trying to reduce.  Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Jack Tame “We kept looking out at the economy and we can't support our previous view.”  Olsen says “You're not going to use monetary policy to get local government rates under control, or insurance premiums.”  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the short reactionary pod for both the RBNZ Financial Stability Review (FSR), which was pretty stock-standard, and the Q1 labour market stats - which were a little more interesting, this week's pod is shorter than it otherwise would have been. First topic of conversation is the latest CoreLogic House Price Index (HPI) data, which provided further more compelling evidence of a struggling housing market, particularly in Auckland (to Nick's surprise). With more time to digest the labour market stats, Nick then states the potential impact it might have on the OCR later in the year before Kelvin rounds up the underwhelming business confidence survey insights and building consents data. And what of Capital Economics' prediction for the Cash Rate in Aussie to see another lift this month?
