This market will resolve according to the change in the official cash rate (OCR) resulting from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s September 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 September 2, 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 This market may resolve as soon as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's media release for their September 2, 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.The RBNZ's July 2026 25-basis-point hike of the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 2.50%—its first tightening in three years—has established the primary driver behind the 90.5% market-implied probability of another increase at the September 2 Monetary Policy Statement. Persistent headline inflation above the 1-3% target band, which peaked near 3.9% in Q2 amid energy pressures before modest easing, combined with central bank communications emphasizing data-dependent further tightening to anchor expectations at the 2% midpoint, has reinforced trader consensus reflected in real-money positioning. Key upcoming catalysts include Q3 CPI and labor market releases that could alter the pace. A significantly softer inflation print, sharper deterioration in employment data, or faster disinflation trajectory could realistically shift odds toward no change, though such outcomes remain low-probability given the current trajectory.
