Economists at MUFG Bank analyze Kiwi’s outlook after a more hawkish than expected RBNZ Monetary Policy Statement.
The announcement of an unchanged policy rate of 5.50% was accompanied by updated forecasts and projections for the official policy rate. The peak for the Official Cash Rate was nudged a little higher from 5.59% to 5.69% and the forecast for the OCR in 2026 showed the RBNZ now expected to cut by 50 bps less by that stage.
We suspect the level of hawkishness communicated today by the RBNZ is somewhat excessive and unlikely to be sustained in an environment of further declines in inflation on a global basis.
The surprise tone from today’s RBNZ meeting leaves short NZD positioning vulnerable. Leveraged Funds have recently increased short NZD positions. As of last Friday, a short NZD position was maintained for the second consecutive week and was the largest in eight weeks. Given the current poor USD sentiment, the RBNZ’s hawkish stance could see NZD advance further from here although NZD was already the 2nd best performing G10 currency this month before today’s gain.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
