央行调到3pc了。。。

Homeowners brace for new rates hike Homeowners are being warned to brace for a rise in mortgage rates with an expected rise of the Official Cash Rate (OCR) today.
The Reserve Bank is expected to raise the OCR for the second time in two months - from 2.75 to 3 per cent.
ASB bank chief economist Nick Tuffley told Radio New Zealand that homeowners should brace for further rises.
"We have seen inflation creep up from 1 per cent, which was a pretty low figure, but the key thing for the Reserve Bank is that because interest rates take up to a couple of years to actually impact fully on inflation, they do have to look ahead.
"What they're looking ahead at is an economy which is picking up a bit of steam.''
Inflation would begin to creep upwards unless interest rates were brought back to a more manageable level, he said.
If the Reserve Bank waited for inflation to reach 2 per cent, it would be too late, Mr Tuffley said.
"It's about trying to get the balance right, and what we're expecting from the Reserve Bank is, over the space of this year and next year, interest rates going up around about two percentage points.''
The rise eventually would bring floating mortgage rates from multi-decade record lows up to around 7.5 to 7.75 per cent, Mr Tuffley said.
Mortgage rates are around just under 6 per cent at present.
The Reserve Bank last month said the rapid increase in net migration over the past 18 months, which has boosted demand for housing and consumer spending, was an inflationary pressure which prompted it to lift the official cash rate a quarter-point to 2.75 percent.
Governor Graeme Wheeler is today expected to raise the official cash rate a further quarter-point to 3 per cent, the second hike in as many months, as he looks to head off future inflationary pressures.
The last time the OCR was at 3 per cent was in January 2011. Based on Mr Wheeler's projections in the March monetary policy statement he will increase the OCR by a total two percentage points in the next two years. |
