RBNZ responses coming in - dovish but not as dovish as expected

That headline seems to be the consensus on the Reserve Bank of New Zealand announcement:

RBNZ leave rates on hold, as expected

ie. that the RBNZ, while expected to keep the cash rate unchanged, was expected to be a little more forthright on the need for further easing.

The NZD response:

• NZD pops a new session high after the RBNZ monetary policy announcement

This also, via Westpac, in brief:

• a weak easing bias which was slightly less dovish than analysts or markets had expected.
