VIEW: ING Expect RBNZ To Hike OCR By 25bp Next Week

RBNZ

ING note that they "expect the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to hike rates by 25bp at its 18 August meeting, and see at least one more hike by year-end.

We think NZD still has significant room to benefit from the RBNZ's hawkishness in 2021".
