Reserve Bank cuts cash rate again

The decision was in line with a Reuters poll where 32 of the 33 economists surveyed forecast the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut the cash rate for the fourth straight meeting, and by half a percentage point.

Arab states are expected to discuss a post-war plan for Gaza to counter US President Donald Trump’s proposal to redevelop the strip under US control and displace Palestinians, a prospect that has angered regional leaders.
