More on this revised RBNZ forecast from ANZ now expect the RBNZ to cut by 50bp in February

The news on this is here:

Adding in a few more comments from ANZ:

  • As expected, the RBNZ delivered another 50bp cut in the OCR to 4.25% at its
    November Monetary Policy Statement – a Statement that had something for
    everyone, making it difficult to label as either “hawkish” or “dovish” relative to
    expectations.
  • The updated OCR track implies slightly more than even odds of yet another
    50bp cut in February (certainly more than the 25bp cut signalled in August),
    but at 3.06% the terminal OCR is 8bp higher.
  • However, while the published OCR track might have been non-committal
    about what the 19 February MPS will bring, RBNZ communications
    subsequent to its publication have been anything but. Senior figures have
    reiterated at every opportunity that a third 50bp cut is the default
    expectation, should the data evolve as expected.
