About This Event
Oct 27, 2026 meeting If the Reserve Bank of New Zealand takes the action X more than 25bps at October Monetary Policy Review meeting, then the market resolves to Yes. The market resolves based on the official policy rate decision announced by the central bank. For central banks with multiple policy rates, only changes to the primary policy rate count. If the meeting is cancelled or delayed past the expiration date, markets for "No change" resolve to Yes and all others resolve to No. Emergency rate changes between scheduled meetings do not affect resolution of contracts tied to scheduled meetings. The specific basis point ranges are inclusive, e.g., "25-50bp" includes both 25bp and 50bp changes. This market will close and expire early if the central bank announces its decision.

What the contract measures
The supplied event is the Kalshi market "Reserve Bank of New Zealand rate decision in October," tied to an Oct 27, 2026 meeting [1]. Each contract asks whether the central bank will take a specific action at that meeting. The rules say the market "resolves based on the official policy rate decision announced by the central bank" and that "only changes to the primary policy rate count" [1].
The wording differs across contracts. "Hike 1-25bps" and "Maintain current rate" are separate bins, while "Hike more than 25bps" and "Cut more than 25bps" are open-ended on the large side. The rules state that "the specific basis point ranges are inclusive" [1]. A contract's Yes price reflects only its own wording, so the five contracts should be read as separate questions.
The listed close time is also worth checking. The contract data shows an end date of 2026-11-04T01:00:00.000Z, but the source excerpt states "Listed end time: not supplied" [1]. The excerpt also says the market "will close and expire early if the central bank announces its decision" [1], so the listed close time is not the same as the decision or resolution time.
Reading the snapshot
The observation time is 2026-10-15T21:00:05.939Z and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-15T21:58:23.471Z [1]. These are records of a past moment, not live quotes. Prices may have changed since then.
The five Yes prices are: hike 1-25bps at 0.55, maintain at 0.43, hike more than 25bps at 0.01, cut more than 25bps at 0.005, and cut 1-25bps at 0.005. The coverage record lists 5 total and 5 included markets, with partialSample set to false [1]. This sample is complete for this saved event.
These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. They should not be treated as the likelihood of an outcome. The Yes prices also sum to about 1.00, but that alone does not establish that the market has fully priced every possibility.
What remains uncertain
The source does not explain why prices are at these levels, and this analysis does not offer a reason. It also does not show how many traders are involved or how much liquidity exists. The reported volume data is not supplied here, so no conclusions about depth can be drawn.
The sample warning states that the saved markets do not establish that the provider lists every possible real-world outcome [1]. No other platform's contracts are included, so these prices should not be averaged with or compared against differently worded contracts elsewhere. Differences in price between contracts with different wording or close times are not an arbitrage opportunity.

Saved Oct 15, 2026 UTCOverview
This contract concerns the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) rate decision at its October Monetary Policy Review meeting, which the event lists for October 27, 2026 [1]. The contract's rules tie resolution to the official policy rate decision announced by the central bank [1]. Only changes to the primary policy rate count where a central bank has several policy rates [1]. The rules also state that emergency rate changes between scheduled meetings do not affect contracts tied to scheduled meetings [1]. The market ranges use basis point bands, and the excerpt states that the bands are inclusive. For example, a band described as 25 to 50 basis points includes both 25 and 50 basis point changes [1]. The rules say that if the meeting is cancelled or delayed past the expiration date, the "No change" markets resolve to Yes and all others resolve to No [1]. The market is also set to close and expire early if the central bank announces its decision [1]. The provider lists the event as active, and no listed end time was supplied [1]. The saved market set includes five contracts for this event: a hike of 1 to 25 basis points, a maintained rate, a hike of more than 25 basis points, a cut of more than 25 basis points, and a cut of 1 to 25 basis points [1]. At the observation time of 21:00 UTC on October 15, 2026, the Yes prices were 0.55, 0.43, 0.01, 0.005 and 0.005 respectively [1]. These are snapshots from a provider and are not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The listed end date of November 4, 2026 is a provider field and is not an announced decision date [1].
Historical Context
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand was established in 1934 and is currently constituted under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 2021 [2]. A separate Wikipedia list covers central bank interest rates for loans to commercial banks to meet temporary shortages of funds, but the excerpt does not describe the RBNZ's history beyond that [3].
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether the RBNZ changes its primary policy rate at the October meeting, and if so, by how much within the specified bands [1]. Its rules focus on the official decision announced by the central bank rather than on commentary or interim events [1]. Because the bands are separate contracts, a reader should compare each contract's own rules and prices rather than treating them as a single ranking [1].
