RBNZ's Chief Economist interview:
- RBNZ wants lower bond yields
- the Bank's new bond-buying targets are meant to signal that intnetion'
- negative cash rate is a policy option, but its not inevitable
- RBNZ would like a weaker NZD
NZD dropped to its session low but remains in a lacklustre small range. The currency is hostage to offshore developoments which makes the RBNZ getting what it wants out of it hands for now.
