- BNZ meet this week - preview - Shadow board favour QE over negative OCR
BNZ preview, in (very) brief, bottom line is:
- We believe the Bank will refrain from signalling any clear policy shifts at this "interim" meeting, preferring to wait until the full Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) of 11 November with respect to key forward commitments.
- we can imagine the Bank's "commitment" to keep its Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 0.25% until at least March 2021 will probably be left in for now. It could be a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. But removing it, at this juncture, seems the bigger risk, in that it could cause a market shunt that the Bank feels a tad confronting to its optionality around OCR movements and timing thereof.
