Trader consensus on Polymarket prices an 88.5% implied probability of no change to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 2.25% for the May 27, 2026 Monetary Policy Statement, reflecting the April 8 decision to hold steady amid persistent but contained inflation pressures. March 2026 quarter CPI rose 3.1% annually—above the 2% target midpoint—yet the RBNZ expressed confidence in a return to target within 12 months, citing spare capacity from unemployment at a decade-high 5.4% in Q4 2025. A modest 11% odds for an increase stem from sticky headline inflation and global risks, while a 0.3% chance of decrease underscores labor market softening without immediate policy pivot. Traders eye Q2 data ahead of resolution.
