A huge weekend ahead for one of the country's best up and coming boxers. David Nyika is set to face off against Australian Floyd Mason in the IBF cruiserweight world title eliminator. It's rank five versus rank six, and the winner will become the number one challenger for the title. Nyika told Hosking this is the best-prepared he's been for any fight he's done, having had 15 weeks' notice and a 12 week camp to train. “I've been fully immersed and I haven't taken any shortcuts.” The winner of the clash will go on to fight British boxer Viddal Riley, who has already won his eliminator, and Nyika is eager to win both bouts. “I'm aiming to get that title and then go on to becoming undisputed cruiserweight world champion.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hayden Paddon's booked a World Rally Championship drive on his favoured surface. He's back on gravel in Paraguay this month after three appearances for Hyundai on tarmac this season. Paddon's last WRC appearance on gravel was the 2018 Rally Australia, in which he finished second for Hyundai. The Kiwi driver told Mike Hosking the contract was originally only comprised of the three tarmac rallies, so the gravel is a nice little bonus. He says while they probably won't recreate what they did eight years ago, they're going to put their best foot forward. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news that now we are in August, there are only 100 working days until Christmas, and less than 70 until our 2026 general election! You will need to pull your finger out to ensure your 2026 goals are on track to be accomplished. This week will see the release of a number of updates on how the July real estate market performed. More importantly, we will get the June labour market update and that is expected to show rising joblessness (to 5.4%). To be fair, labour market data are lagging indicators. In Australia, Cotality and Domain will report what they saw in their residential real estate markets. And we will get both household spending and cost of living updates for June this week, neither expected to show improvements. We should also note that their fuel excise tax suspension ended last night. From April to June the discount was 32 AUc/liter, for June and July it was 16c. Now there is no relief discount there. Globally it will be all about July PMIs (other than keeping an eye on the warmongers who all show a distinct lack of any idea on how to end the conflicts they started). In the US, the other important data will be their end of week labour market updates in their non-farm payrolls report. There is little evidence to suggest it will be a strong one and markets currently expect another month of less than +100,000 gains (+91,000) and a rising jobless rate (4.3%). We will be tracking their bond market signals closely too. And that the Trump Organisation is regarded by banks as a money-laundering entity barely raises an eyebrow these days, indicates how low the US has fallen. But also, a key background reason risk premiums are rising. In India, they will get a central bank review but no-change to their policy rate (5.25%) is anticipated. We will be tracking those PMIs too, especially in China to see if the private S&P Global versions continue to be more upbeat than the dour official versions. After four months of minor expansion, those official factory PMIs has slipped back into small contraction with a much sharper shift than was expected. After two months of minor expansion, their official services PMI also slipped back into a small contraction, also a sharper shift lower than expected. China's overall growth targets are looking less likely to be achieved the longer the year goes on. But lets not overstate these pullback signals; most countries would love to have their growth levels even at the reduced impetus. China's key issue is that new order levels are fading and exports are the key driver, not internal consumption (which is their goal). So more induced infrastructure stimulus is on the way. Korean industrial production bounced back sharply in June after the minor but unexpected dip in May. The June level was +5.8% higher than a year ago, up +2.3% from May, a heartening rebound for them. The Korean stock market bounced back sharply on Friday after the earlier dives, but they still ended the week down more than -3%. Japanese industrial production recorded a similar recovery in June, up +4.2% from a year ago, up +1.3% for the month. But that was not matched by retail sales in Japan which took a rather large tumble, down -4.1% from the strong year-ago level, up +0.5% from May. The Japanese central bank intervention support for their currency may have been significantly expensive, even if it has succeeded in halting the devaluation with a 3% recovery. Reports indicate they spent US$45 to US$50 bln on the few-days effort. It happened again on Friday, this time in a joint action with the US. And more may be coming. EU inflation came in at 2.9% in July as expected, up marginally from June's 2.8%. Australian producer prices rose +3.6% in June from a year ago, the most since early 2025 and above the anticipated +2.5% and even the 'high' Q1-2026 3.0% level. Inflation is embedding and it is a result that will focus attention by officials. In the US, even though the US Fed held its policy rate unchanged last Thursday (despite 3 dissenters wanting higher rates), markets have pushed US benchmark rates higher anyway. The UST 10 year is +27 bps higher at the end of July than at the beginning. Their 30 year benchmark is also +27 bps higher. Most of these increases came in the past two weeks, and will resonate soon for American home loan borrowers. The updated July University of Michigan sentiment survey confirmed its better July levels, and confirmed lower inflation expectations. Still, these new levels are -11% lower than year-ago levels with perceptions of current conditions -19% lower. These measures are still in the down-trend that started in 2024 even after these better July results. They noted that US consumers remain focused on pocketbook issues like purchasing power, while political or military developments remain more in the background. Also improving in July were the results of the Chicago PMI, clearly benefiting from stockpiling and reshoring still. In the current Q2-2026 earnings season reporting, 86% of S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 77% of S&P 500 companies has reported a positive revenue surprise. In Canada, they reported their GDP rose modestly in June, a third consecutive rise and the fifth gain in six months as their economy gathers steam. Q2-2026 results aren't yet available but it is clear they will be quite positive, in contrast to the small dip in Q1-2026, and the weak Q2-2025 result. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.75%, up +1 bp from this time Saturday, up +7 bps for the week. We make that its highest since January 2025 (briefly) and prior to that October 2023. The 30 year yield is at 5.28% and a 20+ year high.  The price of gold has fallen to US$4042/oz, down -US$8 from Saturday down -US$6 for the week. Silver is down -50 USc at just over US$57.50/oz, down -US$1 for the week. Oil prices are little-changed from Saturday still at now just over US$84.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is still just over US$88/bbl.  The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from Saturday at just under 58.9 USc, but up +100 bps for the week and back to early June levels. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 83.8 AUc. Against the euro we unchanged at 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 62.6 which is also unchanged from this time Saturday, and also up +100 bps for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$63,293 and up +0.4% from this time Saturday, down -1.4% for the week. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.0%.

They say you're never too old to learn something new, and one Kiwi entrepreneur is using this as the basis for her new education initiative. Frances Valintine recently launched the Love Heart Social Learning programme, and it's designed to educate Kiwis over 60 and encourage connection. She says she's been working in education for years and seen Kiwis in their late 40s and beyond return for masters degrees and she felt inspired to use this for a social enterprise. "It's extraordinarily important, all the studies have come out around cognitive decline, Alzheimer's', dementia, etc - a lot of it comes through loneliness and lack of connection to people, but also the lack of keeping your mind busy. So people often take up reading or they go into book clubs, they might do other things that they haven't done before." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think.Why are 10 percent more Kiwi homeowners choosing to rent out their properties rather than sell them? And how did organized crime syndicates convert 17 suburban Auckland rental homes into illegal grow houses right under self-managing landlords' noses?In Episode 22 of New Zealand Property Insights, financial adviser Debbie Roberts and experienced investor Paul Roberts (Owners of Property Apprentice) break down fresh June 2026 rental market data from realestate.co.nz and examine critical asset security safeguards for property owners.First, we analyze the nationwide surge in new rental listings (+10% YoY) driven by Kiwis relocating overseas who are choosing to hold onto their properties as a long-term capital buffer. We explore regional extremes including Wairarapa (+67.6%) and Southland (+32.8%), alongside the sharp stock contraction in Wellington (-25.7%).Next, we break down an urgent warning from police and tenancy experts following the seizure of 1,532 cannabis plants across 17 West Auckland rentals. We expose the subtle vetting red flags that self-managing landlords miss—from failing ID software to fake referees whose voices change across phone calls—while outlining how to perform rigorous due diligence without violating New Zealand's Human Rights Act.

It's finale time! We have reached the top of the Japanese organized crime roller coaster and are now screaming to the finish line!

World anti-doping bosses have told Kiwi sports officials to take a harder line on New Zealand's elite athletes in order to keep sport drug-free. Montreal-based World Anti-Doping Agency officials travelled to Auckland in late September 2025 for its first full review of New Zealand's anti-doping regime. The audit found multiple errors in New Zealand's anti-doping practices, including the nation's failure to keep track of some athletes in the elite Registered Testing Pool, meaning detailed and updated whereabouts information wasn't on-hand for no-notice drug testing. Sport Integrity Commission CEO Rebecca Rolls says this information is useful, and New Zealand can learn from the feedback. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nicola Willis will like the inflation number that's come out. More importantly, she'll like the story that number is telling. Remember, her target audience is the squeezed middle. This is the battleground. This is the fight for the soft centre at the election: Labour versus National. These are the voters both parties are targeting. The Stats NZ figure for the year to the June quarter is 3.2 percent. Prices are up for the average Kiwi family. On the face of it, that doesn't sound like good news. But for the roughly one-third of Kiwis who own a home, aka the squeezed middle, the number is better than it could have been. That's because this figure is based on the Household Living-Costs Price Index, not the Consumers Price Index (CPI). CPI inflation is 4.1 percent. This measure is lower at 3.2 percent. Why? Because it takes into account the cost of mortgage interest payments. And the mortgage-interest story is a good one. On these numbers, mortgage interest payments are 15 percent cheaper. Just imagine how bad this figure could have been if interest rates hadn't fallen, or if the Reserve Bank hadn't had the headroom to cut rates. You can see where I'm going with this. If you're an average home-owning family with two kids in New Zealand, you know how important your mortgage is to your sense of financial wellbeing. The smaller it is, the better you feel. So Nicola Willis will see this number as positive for two reasons. First, she'll claim some credit for helping bring mortgage costs down by 15 percent. Even though that's largely the Reserve Bank's doing, she'll argue that the Government created the conditions that made it possible. Second, she'll blame Donald Trump for prices continuing to rise, which isn't entirely untrue. A third of the annual increase is due to petrol prices and that's tied to events involving Trump and Iran. This helps National because it's running this election not only on its own record, which, let's be honest, has been patchy, but also against Labour's record. It's playing the "don't put it all at risk" card and it's playing that card hard. You would have heard that from Nicola Willis on the show. The only problem with these numbers is that they're backward-looking. Yes, interest rates have been coming down but they're starting to climb again. Westpac has moved on fixed rates and you can bet your bottom dollar the other banks will soon follow. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What’s the best thing, what time frame, what pair? What’s my stop loss? Where should my profit target be? All those type of things. And it unfortunately shows that most people don’t do enough research into trading. Don't limit your trading opportunities. And the problem is, is that people see the major currencies like the EUR/USD or the USD/JPY, and they think that’s the only pair I should trade. And I suppose, in all honesty, when I started, you know, it was the GBP/USD, the USD/CHF, the USD/JPY, and then later on the EUR/USD. And everybody thought those were the 4 pairs you should focus on trading. And the issue is, why just those 4 pairs? Now, when you think about it, all 4 of those that I’ve just mentioned are all US dollar dominated. And therefore, if you focus on pairs that are just US dollar dominated, you’re not giving yourself a very good chance of success because they’re all likely to move, much of the time, in the same direction. And because it depends if the US is strong or the US is weak. Give yourself a higher probability of success. And as a trader, I like to give myself the best probability chance of success. So when it comes to which pair is the right 1 to trade, I don’t get aligned to any pair. I look at all the different pairs and you can very quickly scan through the charts, looking to see if there’s a suitable trade there, yes or no. And the other reason I do that on a daily basis is because I also prefer to trade with strength and weakness. An example of Strength and Weakness. Now, give you an example. Let’s focus again on the EUR/USD. What happens if for today the Euro is really strong and the US is really strong, and that’s the only pair that you look at? Then you’re trading 2 strong pairs together, and you see how the problem might come. 1, you’re unlikely to get many setups or good setups. And what happens if you buy the EUR/USD because the Euro’s got some strength, but you also know now that, and you would know this only if you look at more pairs. If you don’t look at more pairs, you’re not going to know this. The US dollar has got strength. So why would you be buying the EUR/USD if you know that the US dollar has got strength? And so, what about other pairs in the market? What about pairs like the CAD/JPY or the NZD/CHF? And so by analyzing multiple markets at the same time, you can soon understand which pairs are strong, which pairs are weak because, doesn’t it make more sense to trade a strong currency against a weak currency? And so that, to me, adds more basis to my trading. And again, it’s just adding more and more probability to my trading. So when someone says to me, what’s the best pair? I can’t answer it. And of course, there’s more things on top of this, you know, to consider. What are the current market conditions? It depends on the day, what’s happening in the market right now, what news has been, what news there might be coming up, what time frame chart you’re looking at, what’s the conditions? What’s the time of year? Right now we’re in the Northern Hemisphere summer. Does that mean that there’s less price action in maybe, say, the Franc and the Euro? Maybe. You know, so all these things have got to come into it. What’s the characteristic of the market right now? And so by picking 1 or 2 pairs and giving you that as the answer, that’s not me doing my job. That’s not what I suggest you do. Look at multiple FX pairs. I suggest that you scan through multiple pairs and give yourself a high-quality chance of a successful trade. Use strength and weakness. Use candle patterns. Don’t limit yourself to just something against the US dollar. It’s not a wise idea. And so there’s a lot more you can be doing to help yourself there. And if you do want to look at pairs that include the US dollar, why not look at things like the AUD/USD or the NZD/USD? Because maybe if that US is still strong, maybe the Aussie and Kiwi are weak that day. So therefore you might be selling the AUD/USD or the NZD/USD. So all these things can certainly massively help you. Check out my new Masterclass.

The Prime Minister has responded to the US hitting New Zealand with 12.5% tariffs. Despite the tariffs already facing scrutiny from US courts, Kiwi exporters are preparing to bare the brunt of the raised tariff. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking that, "it's purely a play to find another avenue to open up the 12.5% tariffs when the Supreme Court came back with a negative ruling" Donald Trump used accusations of 'forced labour' to justify the tariffs, which Chris Luxon strongly denies.

A very exciting Monday Drive this week, certainly a lot of livin', laughin' and lovin', and word on the street is that the big move is happening soon. We started the show off with a good yarn with 95bFM alumni and veeeeery talented musician Beth Torrance about her brand-spanking-new EP, ‘Your Favourite.' Spoiler alert: it rips! As usual, Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham joined us for That's the Spirit. We talked about the new Catholic cathedral in Ōtautahi. We also learned what ‘cathedral' means. There's a buzz going on about a hot new Kiwi film premiering at NZIFF, ‘The Ungrateful Tenant.' And, what do you know, we had the pleasure of talking to director Conor Bowden and composer Joshua Worthington-Church. Ngā mihi nui The Beer Spot.

Checkpoint producer Johnny Sutherland spoke to Lisa Owen about New Zealand's own identical quadruplets.

Fresh off a thrilling finish at Royal Birkdale which saw him hoist the Claret Jug, Ryan Fox joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to relive his first major win at the 2026 Open Championship — only the fourth Kiwi to win a major, and the first to bring the Claret Jug home to New Zealand since Bob Charles in 1963. Fox walks through his major championship record-tying 62 on Saturday (and the improbable fairway bunker shot on 18 that capped it off), the driver decision on the 13th that swung his Sunday momentum, an incredible approach at 16, and the nerves he felt reading the winning birdie putt on 18.Plus: A brand new Srixon driver responsible for some of the most clutch shots he hit all week + the Z-STAR ball that gave him an edge over the rest of the field in the windy conditions, his dad Grant Fox's legendary All Blacks career and 1987 Rugby World Cup win, New Zealand's golf course boom, whether a PGA Tour event or Presidents Cup could ever land in New Zealand, and a detour into Fox's Bordeaux-heavy wine cellar.Before all that: the saga of getting the real and replica Claret Jugs through airport security and onto the flight home — including an awkward moment in line next to runner-up Cameron Young.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters0:00 Intro & Ryan Fox's dad, All Blacks legend Grant Fox2:39 Has life changed since becoming Champion Golfer of the Year?3:39 New Zealand's 4th major champion & ending a 63-year Claret Jug drought4:29 The Claret Jug's wild flight home9:19 Echoes of Hideki Matsuyama's Masters travels10:19 Friday's grind just to make the cut12:12 Saturday's record-tying 6213:14 The bunker shot and putt that closed out the 6218:29 The 13th hole driver gamble and riding the wave of momentum23:24 The approach at 16 and feeling the crowd's energy29:03 Composure and nerves on the 18th green32:45 The backstory on Ryan's putter34:42 No snakes in New Zealand???35:57 The 2014 Muriwai Open and New Zealand's links golf38:00 The 2021 Muriwai win with Steve Williams caddying39:48 Touring New Zealand's booming golf course scene42:50 Could the PGA Tour — or a Presidents Cup — come to New Zealand?46:25 Wine talk: Bordeaux, Hawke's Bay, and the Claret Jug48:23 Sign-off

If you were racing with Matt Wilson last year, it was pretty clear that he was one of the strongest in the bunch, but through mechanicals and various other extenuating circumstances, he never managed to translate his talents into a top finish. This year, the Kiwi rider is out to prove what he can do. First, he snagged third at New Zealand Road Nats and second at XC Nats. Then, he earned one of the wild card spots in the Grand Prix at Unbound. Six days later, he lined up at Tulsa Tough, the biggest crit race in the U.S., and won it on his Unbound bike. Since then, he's been on a cross-country road trip, hitting up seemingly every race along the way.  Payson sat down with Matt in Durango to discuss his breakout season, jam-packed schedule, and the injury that has forced him to take a much needed break. They also talk about his friendship with fellow Kiwi and training buddy Cam Jones, and his history racing U23 on the XC World Cup circuit.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

Jimmy and Tyler sit down with James, the International Distributor for Carbon Off-Road — a 10-year-old Australian winch and recovery gear company quietly making a lot of noise in a space dominated by legacy brands. James is a Kiwi who grew up on farms in New Zealand’s Taranaki region before moving to Australia 22 years ago. He found off-roading the same way a lot of adults do: by needing friends and buying a Suzuki. He joined a Suzuki club, met Carbon founder Dan through those connections before Carbon even existed, and eventually joined the company. Now he’s traveling the US in what Tyler accurately describes as a “homeless American gypsy” role — meeting wheelers, attending grassroots events, and slowly building the Carbon Off-Road name in the US market. He stopped in Sacramento on a layover to come on the show, having spent a week with Jimmy and Tyler at Trail Hero Expeditions. Carbon’s pitch is three words: lighter, faster, stronger. Their 12,000 lb flagship is the lightest 12K winch in the world — just under 58 lbs fully installed, aluminum housing, 480 amp max current draw, lifetime mechanical warranty on the gearbox, 5-year electrical on the motor and control box. It retails at $899 USD. The RS9 is their race-spec winch — 9,000 lb capacity, 80 feet per minute unloaded, and James jokes it should come with a parental advisory sticker because it will unspool 78 feet of spectra fiber rope in about a minute if you don’t have tension on the line. On the recovery gear side: Carbon just launched a full lineup available in three colorways — High Viz (orange, commercial/heavy equipment), Blue, and Tactical (so popular it exceeded all expectations). Their Essential Recovery Kit ($349 USD) includes soft shackles, kinetic rope, tree saver, recovery ring, gloves, and a bag that doubles as a winch blanket. The Tac 4×4 Kit ($599 USD) upgrades to spectra-fiber soft shackles rated at 18,000 kg working load limit, adds a utility rope (replaces the tree saver — works as a bridle, rock anchor, winch extension, or general purpose rope), and comes in a MOLLE-style bag. Everything is designed in-house in Australia, third-party tested to minimum breaking strength, and not white-labeled — James is emphatic about this. The show also covers: Carbon’s 10th anniversary camping weekend at Black Duck Valley (120 vehicles showed up despite two weeks of rain), what it’s like trying to sell winches at a trade show for 14 hours in a row, why James hasn’t been able to drive his own trailer-queen Suzuki Sierra much lately, King of the Hammers 2026 (“we saw a lot of winches stalling out — caveat: none of ours”), the Australia/New Zealand land access crisis vs. US land access fights, and why the name Carbon has nothing to do with carbon fiber. Bonus content includes the full Australia ongoing-topics segment: Vegemite vs. Marmite (James sides with Marmite, the New Zealand version), camping vs. glamping (coffee machine in the tent = crossed the line), and the fanny pack question that previously required Australian listeners to call in and educate Jimmy about what the word “fanny” actually means. James’s closing advice: In a recovery situation, don’t rush it. Take a breath, assess, and figure out how to do it safely.

   It went a little under the radar but my goodness did Marco Rubio and company open up a major discussion with a terrorism summit he hosted in DC.  Rubio identifies the dangerous leftists worldwide and brings the stats on just how lopsided it is.  Then he brought up Stephen Miller to swing a sledgehammer.  This is good stuff.    Philip Sarnecki rocked a KKHI tee shirt at a rally in Sabetha this weekend as he's running for governor.... LET'S GO!    Phil LeVota isn't running to stay on as Jackson County executive but there are rumblings he's going to run for Mayor after Q is term limited.  Oh, and LeVota is guest hosting my radio show one week from today.    Former CNN anchor Don Lemon says everyone wants him to run for president.  President Trump attended the World Cup and received a rough welcome from all the liberals and globalists in the stands.  The Royals gave up 19 runs Sunday.   A New Zealander wins the British Open.  NASCAR returns to a track after 30 years and Window World is the title sponsor of the race.  And in our Final Final... we reveal the main reason the World Cup succeeded in America
