The RBNZ raised the official cash rate for the second consecutive meeting this week, with Governor Brehman indicating that further rate hikes may be needed, but policymakers want time to assess the impact of the rate increases so far. The statement signaled that investors have lowered their expectations for a rate hike at the next meeting in October, while heavily betting on a December hike. "We have made it very clear that, based on the economic outlook, we do believe that further rate hikes may be necessary in the future," Silk said in an interview on Friday. "Whether it will be in October or December is still uncertain, but based on the current interest rate path, the latter is more likely." Investors share this view. Swap data shows that the market currently expects only a 31% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike to 3% in October, and a 100% probability of a 3% rate hike in December. Silk reiterated that the RBNZ does not have a predetermined rate hike path.Cathay Pacific (00293.HK): Will cancel passenger flights between Dubai and Riyadh until November 30.September 4th – This morning, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the theme of "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan," introducing the relevant situation regarding promoting high-quality development of medical insurance and better serving Chinas modernization.
