Majority of the NZD crosses have been spiking considerably higher on the back of kiwis growth data.
The New Zealand economy advanced 1.0 percent on quarter in the second quarter of 2018, above 0.5 percent in the previous quarter and market expectations of 0.7 percent. It was the largest quarterly rise in two years, as 15 of the 16 industries expanded. ANZ has been slightly under the market median estimate, at 0.7% q/q. As always, the GDP data is dated, relating to activity in the April, May and June while we are approaching the end of Q3.
Nevertheless, the data matters for the market because it determines the starting point for the Reserve Bank’s estimate of the ‘output gap’ (spare capacity in the economy) and thus the medium-term track for inflation.
In its August Monetary Policy Statement, the RBNZ sounded less than confident about getting core inflation sustainably up to the target midpoint in an acceptable timeframe, so any GDP disappointment would likely be seized upon by a market that is already pricing roughly 40% odds of an OCR cut in the next 12 months. On the flip side, a number approaching 1% might see the priced odds of cuts reduced – depending on how important temporary factors are proven to have been.
