How long will the war in the Middle East go on for? Oil price is one thing, supply is what we’re really worried about. But worryingly, the menu has changed. No more TACO, now we have NACHO. Not a chance Hormuz opens.

The conflict in the Middle East is keeping us in limbo. We’re waiting for things to change. The fuel shortage we were bracing for seems less likely now. But we still have to face the prices.

Our inflation forecasts are on point, but we aren’t celebrating. CPI numbers out this week tell an uncomfortable story. Inflation at 3.1% is just above the RBNZ’s target band (again), with no big downside surprises to help ease cost pressures.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The name is Bond, US Bond. The canary in the coal mine.
Q: What is your view on the OCR decision next week and how it might differ from what the market is pricing in?
The team expects that while some rate hikes are possible later in the year, the next move will be data-dependent, with September-October being the likely window to reassess; the inflation dynamic and supply-side factors will influence the timing more than short-term shifts.
Just what we don’t need… more inflation
Q: Can you just tell us, you know, what are some of the key things we're looking at at the moment?
The main focus is the energy market and how disruptions in oil supply from the Middle East could push Brent crude higher, raising petrol prices and feeding into inflation, while simultaneously dampening demand and growth. Central banks are likely to look through the volatility rather than respond with automatic hikes, given the broader drag on growth and the risk of a policy stance that restrains recovery.
