美國總統特朗普：對伊朗的攻擊是爲了報復昨天伊朗對船隻的轟炸。如果再發生一次，後果將更加嚴重。

RBNZ MPC unanimously raised the official cash rate (OCR) by 25bps to 2.50%. Partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz pushed global oil and other petrochemical prices sharply lower, easing near-term inflation pressure, but the energy shock’s effects will persist and medium-term inflation remains uncertain. Policy is set to return inflation to target while avoiding unnecessary economic instability. New Zealand’s economy was on a recovery path before the Middle East conflict; the oil shock weakened Q2 momentum. With inflation still above target and activity expected to strengthen, further removal of monetary stimulus may be required to return inflation to the 2% midpoint. Future rate decisions will depend on incoming data, price-setting behaviour and the extent to which recent cost increases pass through to consumer prices.

Trump said the US may take actions that could lift oil prices.
