ep 351 | Are we set for early OCR hikes as petrol prices surge?
23/03/2026 | 7 mins.
The conflict between the US and Iran has disrupted one of the world’s most important trade routes, the Strait of Hormuz. The impact of this will feed directly into local inflation, reversing some of our recent progress and reminding households that global events can still hit close to home. How will the Reserve Bank react to this, and are we set for early OCR hikes?
ep 350 | The week ahead - All eyes on the RBNZ Governor
21/03/2026 | 16 mins.

Here In New Zealand, all eyes will be on RBNZ Governor Dr Anna Breman on Tuesday. She is scheduled to give a speech discussing the potential impacts of the conflict on the New Zealand economy.
ep 349 | Should we worry about the election, or get on with it?

14/03/2026 | 11 mins.

The Federal Reserve in the US will be the highlight, while we'll also hear from the Reserve Bank of Australia, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and Bank of Japan.
ep 347 | What should investors do about rising oil prices?
09/03/2026 | 11 mins.
The situation in the Middle East is moving very quickly and like any geopolitical event, it’s difficult to anticipate where it’ll go next. US crude oil prices surged 35.6 per cent last week and at the beginning of this week, prices jumped above US$100. What might this mean for inflation, interest rates and financial markets?
