NZ business will get used to global uncertainty, RBNZ economist says By Lucy Craymer WELLINGTON (Reuters) -The hit to New Zealand confidence caused by global uncertainty will fade as businesses get used to a time of heightened economic policy unpredictability, the chief economist at the country’s central bank said on Friday. Paul Conway, chief economist at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, said the confidence shock will pass and business will “just get on with it.” "I fully expect uncertainty to persist into the future but to some extent, we get used to it,” Conway told Reuters in an interview. "We can’t sort of wait and see what’s going to happen…forever," he said. He added the central bank’s decision to cut the cash rate by 25 bps this week to 3.0% and flag further cuts was encouraging businesses to get on with it. At its decision on Wednesday, the central bank highlighted weakness in both consumer and business confidence and the impact that this was having on spending as being one factor of concern for the economy. Governor Christian Hawkesby has said the impact of this uncertainty had been greater than the bank thought. The U.S. has placed a 15% tariff on goods being imported from New Zealand, which was worse than the 10% initially signalled but not as bad as many other trading partners. Conway said the changes to tariff rates were creating uncertainty and that is like “another shock on top of the tariff in the first place.” “Those types of factors are ... causing businesses to be a little more reticent, households to be a little more reticent and that’s perfectly rational,” he said. The central bank decision to cut by 25 bps was not unanimous with two of the six board members voting to cut by 50 bps. Conway said one member was "particularly keen" on a hold but ultimately the committee decided only to vote on cutting. The member was concerned it "could sort of morph into more persistent inflation pressure," he said. Successful investors know to check multiple angles before making their move.

NZ central bank cuts rates to 3-year low, flags more easing; kiwi $ tumbles By Lucy Craymer WELLINGTON (Reuters) -New Zealand’s central bank cut its policy rate by 25 basis points to a three-year low of 3.00% on Wednesday, and flagged further reductions in coming months as policymakers warned of domestic and global headwinds to growth. The New Zealand dollar fell as much as 0.8% to $0.5845, while two year swap rates slumped as deep as 2.96% -- their lowest level since early 2022 -- as the decidedly dovish stance caught markets off guard. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand said the economy had stalled in the second quarter, and that the committee debated holding rates as well as reducing them by 25 basis points or 50 basis points. The cut in the official cash rate by a quarter point was in line with a Reuters poll in which all but two of the 30 economists surveyed correctly forecast the RBNZ’s decision, after the bank held policy steady in July. The central bank has slashed rates by 250 basis points since August 2024 to underpin a fragile recovery, taking advantage of expectations inflation will return to 2% next year and to buffer the economy from a broad shakeup in U.S. tariff policy. “There are upside and downside risks to the economic outlook. Cautious behaviour by households and businesses could further dampen economic growth. Alternatively, the economic recovery could accelerate as the full effects of interest rate reductions flow through the economy,” the RBNZ said in its accompanying policy statement. The central bank forecast in its Monetary Policy Statement that the cash rate will be at 2.71% in the fourth quarter of 2025, below a forecast of 2.92% in May. In the first-quarter of 2026 it expects it to average 2.55%, lower than the previously forecast 2.85%. "If medium-term inflation pressures continue to ease as expected, there is scope to lower the OCR further," the statement added.A global front-runner in withdrawing pandemic-era stimulus, the RBNZ lifted rates 525 basis points between October 2021 and September 2023 to curb inflation in the most aggressive tightening since the official cash rate was introduced in 1999. The punishing borrowing costs, however, took a heavy toll on demand and tipped the economy into recession last year. While, the South Pacific nation has emerged from the slump, growth remains weak and is being further hampered by a slowdown in the global economy and the government’s tight fiscal policy. Adding to the domestic economic stress, unemployment is also rising. New Zealand’s annual inflation remains within the RBNZ’s 1%-3% target band at 2.7% and the central bank is forecasting it will increase to 3.0% in the third quarter. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Unsure where to invest next? Get access to our proven portfolios and discover high-potential opportunities. In 2024 alone, ProPicks AI identified 2 stocks that surged over 150%, 4 additional stocks that leaped over 30%, and 3 more that climbed over 25%. That's an impressive track record. With portfolios tailored for Dow stocks, S&P stocks, Tech stocks, and Mid Cap stocks, you can explore various wealth-building strategies.

RBNZ cuts rates by 25bps as expected, signals scope for further easing Investing.com-- The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) lowered its interest rates on Wednesday, as widely expected, as slowing domestic activity and spare capacity weighed on the growth outlook. The central bank cut its official cash rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 3.00%, following a hold in July. The Monetary Policy Committee voted 4-2 for the quarter-point cut, with a minority favouring a larger 50 basis-point reduction. Including Wednesday’s reduction, the RBNZ has lowered interest rates by a total of 250 basis points since August 2024. The central bank said inflation is currently near the top of its 1-3% target band but is projected to ease toward 2% by mid-2026 due to significant spare capacity in the economy. "If medium-term inflation pressures continue to ease in line with the Committee’s central projection, the Committee expects to lower the OCR further," the central bank said in a statement. Governor Christian Hawkesby said the decision was aimed at supporting growth after the economy contracted in the June quarter, with household and business spending constrained by weaker employment, falling house prices, and higher costs for essentials. The central bank projected a gradual recovery later in 2025 as lower borrowing costs feed through, but highlighted global trade tensions and U.S. tariff increases as headwinds. Consideration of an outsized 50 bp reduction weighed on the New Zealand dollar, with the NZD/USD pair slipping 1.1% to over a four-month low.

Biggest changes in the RBNZs August policy report Taking a quick side-by-side view of the May (left) and August (right) monetary policy reports, we can see one of the first triggers for today's dovish NZD reaction. In May, the RBNZ projected two cuts for the rest of the year (including the one we had today). In other words, after today, markets had expected the bank to have one more cut left in the tank. Today's OCR shows the bank thinks there is scope for two more, one by year-end and one more in Q1 2026. The reason for the dovish shift can be seen in the bank's view of both growth and the labour market. Even though the bank projects higher inflation compared to May, they also see a much lower growth profile, with GDP for 2026 seen at 1.1% versus 1.5%. The output gap is also projected to be lower. For the labour market, total employment is now seen at 0.8% in 2026 versus previously seen at 1.8%. The Unemployment Rate is also projected higher for 2026 from 5.0 to 5.2. All-in-all a more dovish view from the bank compared to what we saw in May. This article was written by Arno V Venter at investinglive.com.

Implied volatility levels for NZD pairs ahead of the RBNZ Ahead of the RBNZ, below is a quick snapshot of today's implied volatility support and resistance levels for NZDUSD, EURNZD, NZDJPY and AUDNZD. NZDUSD: 0.59200 (resistance) - 0.58600 (support) EURNZD: 1.98200 (resistance) - 1.96800 (support) NZDJPY: 87.400 (resistance) - 86.500 (support) AUDNZD: 1.09600 (resistance) - 1.09100 (support) These levels are based on 1-month implied volatility and can be used as dynamic and market-based levels of support and resistance. These levels on their own are quite handy, but when we combine them with technical analysis tools like pivot points, or fibs, or psychological levels, you can identify potential entry, take profit, or stop-loss levels with more increased confidence. What's unique about using implied volatility is that it provides a totally objective and data-dependent price range to complement your subjective technical analysis.
