GDP down, Mortgage Rates to Fall Further

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

📉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 This is the same period when the RBNZ was speculating on OCR settings – yet those figures are now outdated, with the Sep qtr nearly over.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.


👉 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.
