Westpac quick to put out a take on the Reserve Bank of New Zealand policy announcement.

In brief (bolding mine):

  • RBNZ … signalling a stronger easing bias than it gave in May
  • strongly hinting that August is live.
  • The policy guidance paragraph appeared at the top of the one-page press release, having been notably omitted from May's press release, and was repeated at the end, giving it more emphasis.

NZD/USD has stopped at the overnight high (so far …):
