NZ RBNZ Interest Rates |October 30, 2013 | Currency News

RBNZ Interest Rates decision today is expected to come in unchanged from the previous release of 2.50%.  With RBNZ Wheeler leaning more neutral in his recent comment, any deviation from that neutral stance will definitely cause significant volatility.

4:00pm (NY Time) RBNZ Interest Rates Decision Forecast 2.50% Previous 2.50%
DEVIATION: 0.25% (BUY NZD 2.75% / SELL NZD 2.25%)

The Trade Plan 
Current forecast from economists surveyed by Bloomberg agree that RBNZ is likely to leave the official rate at 2.50% during this meeting; however, in the unlikely event that Governor Wheeler surprises the market and hike/cut rates by 0.25%, we should see an immediate strong volatility in the NZD which is a great opportunity to spike trade NZD.

I’d recommend to use the Recommended Pairs from above as they are based on my CSM, which should provide the best combination of currency pairs to trade based on better/worse news… of course, you can also trade the default pair: NZDUSD.

Outlook Score
Outlook score is derived from market sentiment, focus, and economic indicators for the currency. It represents the long-term trend of the currency and its market perception. In short, a strong Outlook Score means more long-term demand for the currency, and a weak Outlook Score is the opposite.

Definition:
The OCR (Official Cash Rate or RBNZ Interest Rates) influences the price of borrowing money in New Zealand and provides the Reserve Bank with a means of influencing the level of economic activity and inflation. An OCR is a fairly conventional tool by international standards.
