The quarterly print of New Zealand’s (NZ) headline inflation, per the Consumer Price Index (CPI), released by the Statistics New Zealand, is out for the second quarter (Q2) of 2023 and is as follows:
Following the better-than-forecast inflation data from New Zealand, the NZD/USD pair renews intraday high near the 0.6315 round figure while extending the previous day’s corrective bounce off a one-week low, as well as snap three-day downtrend.
Ahead of the data, analysts at the ANZ said, “There’s likely to be some good news in the Q2 CPI report. Inflation seems to be well and truly on its way down, however it’s by no means ‘job done’ for the RBNZ.”

With the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) inflation target being around the midpoint of 2%, Statistics New Zealand’s quarterly Consumer Price Index (CPI) publication is of high significance. The trend in consumer prices tends to influence RBNZ’s interest rates decision, which in turn, heavily impacts the NZD valuation. Acceleration in inflation could lead to faster tightening of the rates by the RBNZ and vice-versa. Actual figures beating forecasts render NZD bullish.
