The NZ Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Q4 has just been released.

The CPI came in higher than forecast.

Non-tradables CPI +0.7% / +2.7% versus previous quarter / year
Tradables CPI -0.4% / +0.9% versus previous quarter / year

The non-tradables group is a barometer of domestic inflation.

Lower petrol prices, and cheaper vegetables are the primary driver for the weakening inflation figures. Q3 CPI remains at +0.9%/1.9%.

The NZD is higher in immediate response.
