RBNZ meeting - 'on hold' expected - but here are 3 things to watch in the statement

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand monetary policy announcement is coming up on:

  • Thursday morning, June 28 local time.
  • That will be Wednesday 27 June at 2100GMT

I posted a preview here via the Reuters survey of expectations here

Now this one, a quick comment from Daiwa on what they are watching for:

Thursday's RBNZ interim OCR review

While there is no prospect of a change in the Official Cash Rate (OCR), there will be some interest in whether the accompanying short statement indicates that the RBNZ's upbeat economic outlook has been dampened by

  • recent softer-than-expected GDP data,
  • continued soft business confidence readings
  • and recent global worries.

The bank also with a heads up on the data due before the RBNZ statement:

  • Prior to the RBNZ's announcement, Wednesday's ANZ Business Outlook Survey for June will provide an up-to-date assessment of business confidence.
  • The May trade report will also be released on Wednesday.

I'll get some other RBNZ previews up prior to Thursday's (Wednesday's GMT time0 announcement
