The market is currently pricing 'Decrease' at 27.5 cents, implying a >25% chance of a rate cut. However, recent consensus forecasts and the RBNZ's official statement on April 8 explicitly noted that rate cuts were not discussed, and the policy bias is skewed towards hiking (potentially as early as May or July) or holding steady due to rising inflation [2, 4]. The prediction market significantly overprices the likelihood of a cut, likely due to a lagged reaction to the latest hawkish central bank communications.
