RBNZ Dated OIS Back To Pricing Two 25bp Cuts By Year-End

STIR

RBNZ dated OIS pricing closed 1-5bps softer across meetings today. This comes after late 2024 meetings shunted around 20bps softer yesterday following the RBNZ policy decision.

  • A cumulative 54bps of easing is priced by year-end from an expected OCR peak of 5.54%.
  • Before the decision yesterday, the market had attached a 29% chance of a 25bp hike at yesterday’s meeting, with an anticipated terminal OCR of 5.65% (reflecting a 61% probability of a 25bp hike) by the May meeting. A cumulative 40bps of easing by year-end was factored into the pricing.
  • It is also worth noting that in late December, the market had expected over 100bps of easing by year-end, stemming from an anticipated terminal OCR of 5.53%.
