Polymarket traders assign a 58.5% implied probability to no change in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Official Cash Rate (OCR) at its May 27 meeting, reflecting the Monetary Policy Committee's February 18 decision to hold at 2.25% amid quarterly GDP upticks and projections for inflation to re-enter the 1-3% target band by Q1 2026 end. Sticky Q4 2025 CPI at 3.1%—above target—fuels a notable 32.5% odds for a hike, bolstered by the RBNZ's modestly higher OCR track to 2.38% by year-end and new Governor Anna Breman's emphasis on data-dependent policy. Cuts trail at 6%, given loose conditions and unemployment near 5.4%; watch April 8's Monetary Policy Review and April 21 Q1 CPI for shifts.
