Economic and event calendar in Asia Tuesday, July 21, 2026 – New Zealand inflation data
Q2 held the peak of the global oil price shock and as such the NZ data is expected to show elevated CPI. Given the renewed conflict its not going to be possible to shrug it off and look though it. I’ll get a preview of this data posted separately.
In brief, any further upside to these numbers beyond expectations should provide a bid for the kiwi $.
Note, there is further inflation data due from New Zealand, no shown in the screenshot beloe. This is the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s own sectoral factor model (core inflation) at 3pm NZ time (0300 GMT/ 2300 US Eastern time).
