Flash: RBNZ will undertake rate hiking cycle Q1 2014 - BNZ
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Higher yields across the NZ curve by year-end and beyond are probable, notes Kymberly Martin, Strategist at Bank of New Zealand. Martin also believes that "The RBNZ will undertake a rate hiking cycle from Q1 2014 taking the OCR to 4.50% by mid-2015." In the short-end, "yields will be driven higher in anticipation of, and the unfolding of, the RBNZ rate hiking cycle, the extent of which is under-estimated by markets" Martin added.
