This market will resolve according to the change in the official cash rate (OCR) resulting from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s July monetary policy decision, relative to the level it was prior to this decision. The resolution source for this market is information released by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand after its July 7, 2026 monetary policy decision, as listed on the official Reserve Bank of New Zealand monetary policy schedule: https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/news-and-events/events#sort=%40eventstart%20ascending&f:@hierarchicalz95xsz120xatopictagnames=[Monetary%20policy] This market may resolve as soon as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's media release for their July 7, 2026 decision with relevant data is issued. If no decision on the official cash rate is issued by the date of the next scheduled monetary policy decision, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.Hawkish signals from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s May 2026 Monetary Policy Statement, citing inflation stuck at 3.1% and projected to peak at 4.3% in Q3 due to elevated fuel and input costs, form the primary driver behind the 79.5% market-implied probability of an Official Cash Rate increase at the July 8 meeting. The central bank explicitly flagged that rates would likely rise sooner and by more than earlier guidance, shifting trader consensus despite ongoing spare capacity, 5.3% unemployment, and soft growth. With the OCR held at 2.25% in a split May vote, recent communications have narrowed the odds of no change to 19.5% and a cut to just 2.0%, aligning with forward pricing of roughly 25 basis points of tightening this year.
