We’ve had data from New Zealand earlier:
- New Zealand Q3 PPI: Outputs +0.6% (+0.7% expected) Inputs +0.2% (expected +0.9%)
Nothing there to deter the RBNZ from further easing.
We’ve had data from Oz also:
- Australia data – Wage Price Index for Q3 2025: 0.8% q/q (expected 0.8%)
The data was in line with market and RBA expectations.
Nevertheless AUD and NZD have boon notable lowers. In the absence of other news I’m putting it down to the diminishing prospects of Fed rate cuts given inflation in the pipeline:
- Bessent says Trump’s $2000 checks to Americans won’t be inflationary … don’t spend it
But … thats only one possible narrative I guess.
