Polymarket traders show razor-thin trader consensus for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's July 8 Official Cash Rate (OCR) decision, with a 45% implied probability of an increase edging out no change at 44%, while a decrease lags at 11%. This tight contest stems from the RBNZ's unanimous April 8 hold at 2.25% amid headline CPI inflation at 3.1%—above the 1-3% target band—despite core measures stabilizing and unemployment at 5.4%. Firmer early-2026 economic data and ANZ's revised call for a 75 basis point hike to 3% have boosted hike odds, counterbalanced by the bank's February guidance for steady policy. Key swing factors include May 27 OCR review and Q1 CPI details, with new transparency rules disclosing individual votes potentially amplifying signals.
