What does Iran war deal mean for New Zealand interest rates?

Zoe King2026-06-17T05:46:03.000Z

oh great, another article telling us nothing new. rates gonna go up anyway, war deal or not.

Jack Morrison2026-06-17T05:55:03.000Z

Exactly. They'll hike anyway just to 'be safe'. Meanwhile my mortgage is killing me.

Jack Morrison2026-06-17T06:05:03.000Z

As someone in construction, this is just noise. Oil drops, but my material costs are still through the roof. No way rates drop any time soon.

Susan Edmunds is always so doom and gloom. Can we have one piece of good news without a 'but'?

Drew Parker2026-06-17T06:55:03.000Z

facts. doom sells clicks, doesn't matter if it's real

Drew Parker2026-06-17T06:21:03.000Z

so if oil goes down, petrol goes down? yeah nah, we all know how that works... 🙄

NZ Herald2026-06-17T06:45:03.000Z

you're joking right? war ending is great but have you seen what the banks are doing? still gonna screw us

NZ Herald2026-06-17T06:43:03.000Z

What about the dairy industry though? They're the real backbone of this country, and no one's talking about how they're getting screwed.

Aria Wilson2026-06-17T06:48:03.000Z

Honest question: if the conflict ends and oil drops, why can't the Reserve Bank at least pause? Doesn't make sense to keep hiking when inflation is already cooling.

Zoe King2026-06-17T07:00:03.000Z

lol hope you're right but I doubt it. Orr loves his hikes.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-17T07:03:03.000Z

I'll believe it when I see it at the pump. Last time oil crashed, petrol went down by 2 cents then back up 10. Bloody joke.

literally this. companies use any excuse to jack up prices but never drop them.
