RBA makes its move – will the RBNZ follow?
The Reserve Bank of Australia has cut its cash rate by 0.25% to 3.6%. The RBNZ followed the RBA last round, and with economic momentum flatlining and unemployment above 5%, there’s a strong chance they could do the same.
NZ retail banks are already ahead of the curve, trimming fixed mortgage rates. The 2-year swap rate has also dropped 10bps in the past week, signalling the market’s expectations.
If you’re coming up for a refix or considering restructuring your mortgage, now’s the time to review your options.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
