While the Kiwi is now tanking vs all major currencies, bar the AUD of course, this may force Wheeler's hand in also resorting to cuts to the OCR (and may be seen as the perfect chance by him to keep intervening here...)
Saw the kiwi leap from re 93.5 to 94.1c just now ; thought it may have been dairy prices jumping.
