New Zealand makes first rate hike since

Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning, reports that New Zealand's central bank has raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 2.50% in its first rate hike in 3 years.

The move signals a shift in monetary policy as the central bank addresses current economic conditions.

Bilello has tracked significant shifts in global markets in recent years. Earlier, he reported that emerging, value, and small to mid-cap stocks outperformed large U.S. equities in 2026 year-to-date. Bilello also noted that U.S. sports betting wagers rose from $6.6 billion in 2018 to $165 billion in 2025.
