Hawkish hold underpins New Zealand Dollar
"RBNZ kept rates on hold at 2.25% as expected, but in a split decision where Governor Breman had the casting vote to keep rates on hold as three members voted for a hike."
"Despite holding rates steady, policymakers signalled that they will most likely need to increase rates sooner than envisaged in the February Monetary Policy Statement, with revised forecasts implying at least two more hikes by the end of the year."
"The NZD strengthened on the decision and front-end yields rose, as the bank signalled that the policy rate most likely will need to rise more and sooner than previously thought."
