Economic & event calendar in Asia 8 July 2026, Reserve Bank New Zealand rate hike expected
I was thinking the RBNZ would remain on hold again today but the consensus is looking for a hike, so I guess I’m gonna cave in and accept it.
Previews, not all looking for a hike:
- RBNZ set to hike rates to 2.50% on July 8 as inflation persists, poll shows
- ANZ expects RBNZ to hike OCR to 2.50% despite sharp oil price fall
- New Zealand dollar gains seen limited even if RBNZ hikes this week
- ASB backs RBNZ hold in July
- NZIER shadow board split as RBNZ rate call turns line-ball for July
- Preview: RBNZ tipped to hike 25bp in July as oil slide clouds tightening outlook
- RBNZ preview: Westpac see July 8 rate hold. Tightening cycle still in effect, pared back
