RBNZ Dated OIS – Firmer Pricing, ANZ Lifts Expected Terminal OCR

STIR

NZ STIR is firmer after ANZ announces a change to its monetary policy outlook with the RBNZ now expected to raise the OCR to a terminal rate of 5.75%. A 25bp hike to 5.50% is expected next Wednesday but they attach a 20% chance of a 50bp hike. This follows the release of Westpac’s updated call of a 6.0% OCR peak earlier in the week.

  • RBNZ dated OIS is 2-8bp firmer with meetings beyond July leading.
  • 25bp of tightening is priced for the upcoming May 24 meeting.
  • Terminal OCR expectations sit at 5.68% versus 5.60% at yesterday’s close and 5.51% at the end of last week.
  • A cumulative 46bp of easing is priced off the terminal rate by Feb’24.
