## Resource

Falling oil prices might seem like a win for your wallet, but the Bank of New Zealand warns it could backfire. Cheaper gas puts more money in pockets, boosting spending—and that could reignite inflation. 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.
