GDP down, Mortgage Rates to Fall Further

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

šŸ“‰The 2yr swap rate fell 0.16% yesterday, following GDP data showing a -0.9% in the Jun qtr. This is the same period when the RBNZ was speculating on OCR settings – yet those figures are now outdated, with the Sep qtr nearly over.

On the ground, we’re seeing green shoots: auction rooms are busy with strong bidding activity in the Sep qtr.


šŸ‘‰ What does this mean for mortgage holders?
The probability of a OCR terminal rate below the forecast 2.5% is increasing — giving banks scope to cut fixed mortgage rates as funding costs ease.

adviceHQ provides independent financial advice to help clients navigate these shifts — ensuring decisions aren’t driven by a single bank’s view, but by what’s best for you.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
