ING Previews This Week's Central Bank Policy Meeting in New Zealand

12:30 PM EST, 11/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is scheduled to release its policy statement at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, said ING.

ING expects the RBNZ to cut rates by 25bps to 2.25% this week.

However, upside risks to inflation and growth mean, in the UBS view, that this will be the last cut of the cycle.

With markets still speculating on further easing, there is room for the New Zealand dollar (NZD) to benefit from a more hawkish RBNZ assessment this week, added ING.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
