Last week, the Reserve Bank of Australia cut the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 4.10%. Following this, key data on wages and unemployment was released in one of the biggest weeks for the Australian economy in a long time. In this week's podcast, Economist Harry Ottley and Senior Economist Belinda Allen take a deep dive into the decision itself, as well as the barrage of communication from the RBA following it.

Wall St closed sharply lower on Wednesday as investors responded to disappointing rate outlook out of the Fed's last FOMC meeting for the year. The Dow Jones posted its 10th straight losing session with a decline of 2.58%, while the S&P500 tumbled 2.95% and the Nasdaq tanked 3.56%. The Fed lowered the US cash rate to 4.25%-4.5% as expected at the final Fed rate meeting of the year but investors were more focused on the commentary out of the Fed that it will only cut rates twice in 2025, which is half the number of cuts previously forecast out of the US central bank.Over in Europe on Wednesday, market closed slightly higher as investors responded to UK inflation data and awaited the Fed's rate decision in the US. The STOXX 600 rose 0.16%, Germany's DAX closed flat, the French CAC rose 0.26%, and, in the UK, the FTSE100 ended the day up 0.26%. UK inflation data showed inflation in the region rose to 2.6% in November which was in line with economists' expectations.Across the Asia region overnight, markets closed mixed on Wednesday ahead of Japan's Central Bank interest rate decision later this week. Japan's Nikkei fell 0.72%, South Korea's Kospi Index rose 1.12%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.95%.The local market closed virtually flat on Wednesday with a 0.06% close in the red as a sell off in consumer discretionary and financial stocks weighed on gains from industrials and healthcare stocks. The flat reading on Wednesday was due to investors sitting on the sidelines awaiting the Fed's final rate decision for 2024 due out over the coming days.Vulcan Energy's shares rose 1.9% after securing a €879 million ($1.4 billion) loan commitment for its €2.2 billion Phase One Lionheart Project in Germany.

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.

As widely predicted the Reserve Bank has dropped the Official Cash Rate by .5% to a new rate of 4.75%. What does this mean for interest rates and the economy? Kiwibank's Senior Economist Mary Jo Vergara explains.

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.

More interest rate cuts are on the horizon. The Reserve Bank expected to cut the Official Cash Rate again this afternoon. ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner is tipping a 50 basis point cut to 4.75%,. She says it's what the market and most economists are predicting, and it's become the default. 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. HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham outlines his predictions for when the economy will turn around and give homeowners some reprieve. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. We've already been reducing our fixed home loan rates, we started doing that last year...this is a continuation for us." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

Ahead of tomorrow's OCR update, one expert is challenging the Reserve Bank to start cutting rates ASAP. The Official Cash Rate is widely expected to stay at 5.5 percent, but Squirrel CEO David Cunningham believes the RBNZ should ease up. Cunningham says monetary policy changes have a one to two-year lag before they flow through to the wider economy. "What that means is- the Reserve Bank should always be looking a couple of years ahead in terms of what they do today and how they impact the future."

Economists at our biggest bank expect the Reserve Bank will increase the Official Cash Rate. ANZ's changed its forecast, now predicting 25 basis point hikes in February and in April. That would take the OCR to six percent -- from its current 5.5. ANZ chief economist Sharon Zollner told Heather du Plessis Allan that the Reserve Bank said it was very close to hiking it again in November. She says since then, a series of small but consistent surprises suggest inflation will take long to get back to target.   LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Next week, the Reserve Bank of Australia will make its first cash rate decision for the year. With inflation dropping, there is much that legal professionals looking to purchase property or expand their existing portfolios need to be across – particularly to avoid missing out. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Legal Home Loans director of sales Cullen Haynes and lending manager Rachael Massoud to discuss the current state of affairs in the market, how lawyers can interpret the recent lowering of inflation, the likelihood that the Reserve Bank will keep the cash rate as is to start the new year, and how lenders are reacting to next week's RBA decision. The trio also discuss the incoming fixed-rate expiry cliff and how to ensure you are prepared, why getting pre-approval in place sooner rather than later will be critical for lawyers in the coming months, the serviceability factors that lawyers should be across, and the myriad benefits afforded to lawyers and legal businesses both through Legal Home Loans and when it comes to borrowing capacity (regardless of the size of one's property portfolio).

A clear message from the Reserve Bank Governor.  The central bank held the Official Cash Rate at 5.5%, and signalled any cuts aren't on the immediate horizon.  It's also left the door open for another rise if inflation pressures are stronger than expected.  Governor Adrian Orr told Mike Hosking that their statement was intentionally hawkish.  He says they don't see room for rate cuts anytime soon, and markets had been trying to guess when that would happen.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Official Cash Rate is expected to remain steady.  The Reserve Bank is tipped to keep it unchanged at 5.5% at its next review at 2pm today.  Economists and commentators remain divided on whether there will be further hikes in the current cycle.  Investment Strategist and Economist at Jarden, John Carran, told Mike Hosking that inflation has been a bit weaker than expected.  He said that the labour markets have started to cool quite materially.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unless you're living under a rock, you've heard of the recent hike in RBA interest rates. But let's face it, with the cost of housing as it is, living under a rock is looking more and more likely. These increases are a measure to curb spending to bring down inflation, but the RBA is secretly hoping something else will happen …. and that's for you to lose your job. So do we really need inflation to be below 3%? And in a cost of living crisis, why is it better to have higher unemployment?Guest: Richard Aedy from The Money

But as the cost of living continues to bite, the Labor government is attempting to pass increases to welfare payments and a $10 billion housing fund.

There's some relief for home owners, with the Official Cash Rate today holding steady today. But mortgage interest costs have blown out in the past two years ago - and the Reserve Bank has warned they'll have to stay high for a while yet. Our reporter Jimmy Ellingham and camerman Nick Monro today asked people how they're coping with the cost of living.
