Summary
Falling oil prices might seem like a win for your wallet, but the Bank of New Zealand warns it could backfire.

With consumer confidence already rising and the Reserve Bank eyeing more rate hikes, a surge in demand could push prices up again. Don’t expect relief anytime soon—expect more interest rate increases to keep the economy from overheating. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
