ANZ and National Bank have made considerable cuts to their long-term fixed rates.

ANZ has reduced its three, four and five-years by 24, 31 and 16 basis points respectively.  Its new rates are now the lowest offered by a major bank by at least one basis point.  ANZ's new four-year rate of 8.19% is now the lowest offered by all lenders in our table, followed closely by ASB, Kiwibank and National Bank with 8.20%.

National Bank has also cut its three, four and five-year rates albeit by a smaller dose.  Its three-year rate dropped 16 points to 7.79%, its four-year rate was cut by 30 points to 8.20% and its five-year rate dropped by 10 points to 8.50%.

Future interest rate hikes softened

The Reserve Bank has kept the OCR at 2.50% as expected, but had lowered its forecast track for the 90 day bill rate by around 60 basis points (0.6%) to a peak of 4.30% by the end of next year.

For borrowers that means floating home loans are not forecast to rise as much as previously forecast. In June the expectation was that the rates would rise 2% in the next 12 months: that figure has now been wound back to 1.4%.
