This market will resolve according to the change in basis points in the official cash rate (OCR) resulting from the October 2026 meeting of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, relative to the level it was prior to this meeting. The resolution source will be official information from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, including the statement or release from its October 2026 meeting, scheduled for October 28, 2026, as listed on the official RBNZ calendar (https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/news-and-events/events). This market may resolve as soon as the statement or release of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand resulting from its October 2026 meeting with relevant data is issued. If the specified rate is defined by an upper and lower bound, the relevant change will be the change to the upper bound. If the specified rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded according to the following guidelines. Increases or decreases of less than 25 bps will be rounded to 25 bps (e.g. an increase or decrease of 10 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 25 bps). Increases or decreases of greater than 25 bps will be rounded to the nearest 25 bps and will be rounded away from 0 in cases of equidistance (e.g., an increase or decrease of 37.5 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 50 bps). Displayed options of "Increase" or "Decrease" will include policy rate increases or decreases of any size. If the specified meeting is postponed to a date and time before the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve based on the outcome of that postponed meeting. If the specified meeting is cancelled, or postponed such that no decision is announced by the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No Change" bracket. Emergency changes to the specified rate not resulting from the specified meeting will not be considered.The RBNZ's September 2 decision to raise the OCR by 25 basis points to 2.75 percent, reaching consensus on a data-dependent path of gradual stimulus removal, underpins the 84.5 percent market-implied probability of no change at the October 28 meeting. Headline inflation reached 4.1 percent in the June quarter from elevated fuel prices tied to Middle East developments, while core measures stayed within the 1-3 percent target band and medium-term expectations remained anchored near 2 percent. Economic recovery has resumed unevenly after subdued June-quarter growth, supporting the central bank's view that further tightening may be needed later but not necessarily immediately. Key upcoming releases, including the Q3 CPI on October 22 and QSBO business survey, will inform the balance of risks to the medium-term inflation outlook and any potential shift in trader positioning.
