Here’s the link to the OCR statement and to the monetary policy statement. And this one if you want to know EVERYTHING.

NZDUSD went into the statement at 0.6790, comes out at 0.6780 as RBNZ tries to look through the inflation spike, recognises the better outlook by bringing forward a rate hike by approx 3 months. There were expectations to bring it forward 2 quarters but they didn’t go for the bait.
Presser in one hour.
