About Tasa de Inflación (CPI/HICP) (NZD)

New Zealand's headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the quarterly change in the price level of a representative basket of consumer goods and services. It is the primary inflation measure monitored by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Why FX traders watch it

Central banks, including the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, set policy rates in response to inflation. An above-target CPI print increases the probability of a rate hike, which is typically nzd-positive, while below-target inflation raises rate-cut odds and can weaken the currency.

How to interpret the data

An inflation reading above consensus or above the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's target band is hawkish and supports the nzd. A downside surprise is dovish and tends to weigh on the currency, particularly when inflation has been trending lower for several months.
