SocGen Sees New Zealand's Central Bank Cutting Key Rate by 25bps This Week; Comments on New Zealand Dollar

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 11/25/25 10:29 AM EST

10:29 AM EST, 11/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is widely forecast to cut the OCR rate by 25bps to 2.25% at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

The shadow board (NZ Institute of Economic Research) supports the decision, wrote the bank in a note to clients.

Market implied rates point to limited easing beyond November, stated SocGn.

The RBNZ statement and forward guidance will be critical for the New Zealand dollar (NZD), barring a surprise 50bps cut, according to the bank.

NZD/USD has retraced to 0.5600 after the rebound in Q2. AUD/NZD is rangebound since last week, having run out of steam in early November, added SocGen.

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.
