RBNZ Dated OIS Slightly Pare Friday’s Post-ANZ Forecast Firming

STIR

RBNZ dated OIS has slightly pared Friday’s significant firming, prompted by ANZ Bank's announcement that they expected the RBNZ to raise the official cash rate (OCR) by a cumulative 50bps (this month and in April), bringing the OCR to 6.0%.

  • (DJ) The RBNZ warned in November that "If inflation pressures were to be stronger than anticipated, the OCR would likely need to increase further." Data since then has been a series of small but pretty consistent surprises in that direction, Zollner said. (See link ICYMI)
  • A cumulative 61bps of easing is priced by year-end versus 69bps on Thursday. However, this is measured from a terminal OCR of 5.75% versus 5.58% on Thursday.
