Polymarket traders overwhelmingly back no change in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 99.4% implied probability for the April 8 Monetary Policy Review, mirroring economist consensus and the bank's February 18 decision to hold steady at 2.25% amid CPI inflation ticking at 3.1% above the 1-3% target band for Q4 2025 yet projected to moderate. Key supports include a softening labor market with unemployment rising to 5.4% in the December quarter, subdued GDP growth around 0.4% last year, and Governor Anna Breman's guidance signaling loose policy persistence despite oil shocks from Middle East tensions. Realistic challenges—a surprise hawkish pivot on escalating inflation pressures or acute economic deterioration—appear minimal pre-meeting, with the May 27 full Monetary Policy Statement as the next catalyst.
