Market participants turn their attention to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand\u2019s (RBNZ) monetary policy decision due on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The New Zealand central bank is widely expected to cut its Official Cash Rate (OCR), currently at 3%, to support a weakening economy. However, markets remain divided between a 25-basis-point reduction to 2.75% and a more aggressive 50-basis-point move to 2.50%. The move would be the eighth rate cut since August 2024.<\/p>\n<p>According to Brown Brothers Harriman, \u201cthe 0.9% GDP contraction in the second quarter leaves scope for the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/macroeconomics\/central-banks\/rbnz\" data-fxs-autoanchor=\"\">RBNZ<\/a> to front-load rate cuts.\u201d The RBNZ had already indicated in September that \u201cthere is scope to lower the Official Cash Rate further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commerzbank also considers a 25-basis-point cut as the most likely scenario, adding that \u201cthe market has already fully priced in this decision,\u201d and that \u201cthe New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is therefore unlikely to react strongly.\u201d The bank notes, however, that persistently weak growth and recent signs of cooling inflation are likely to prompt the RBNZ to continue its easing cycle in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the US Dollar (USD) remains firm, supported by political and fiscal uncertainty in France and Japan, which weighs on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/currencies\/eurusd\" data-fxs-autoanchor=\"\">the Euro<\/a> (EUR) and the Japanese Yen (JPY).
