Maybe this means there's less likelihood of those little gradual increases in the 6s and 12s over the next couple of months until we hear and see a bit more.
On that note, in terms of big releases coming out, I've got Q4 GDP data still a month away, 19th of March.
So we won't really get a feel for that's Q4.
You know, earlier in the week, obviously, we talked about, you know, where the NZAC came in and our expectations for GDP.
I've seen
Some economists pull back their expectation for Q4.
We had 0.6% we were talking about.
Maybe it's a little lower than that for Q4, but we really want to know what's happening in this quarter.
And some of those faster moving measures are showing us that it's not quite as good as maybe we saw in the last half of last year.
The next Reserve Bank decision for the official cash rate, of course, just a review, not the full statement.
On the 8th of April, we're in about six weeks away.
We don't get Q1 CPI inflation data until the 21st of April.
So that will be after the next decision.
labour market data on the 6th of May for Q1, and then we've got the monetary policy statement in full with all the forecasts and everything on the 27th of May.
So they will have the CPI inflation and the labour market data, not the GDP data for Q1, but they will have Q4 data and that now casts GDP
from their own model as well.
So, you know, that 27th of May probably shapes up as a pretty crucial one when we have, you know, a bit of data from 2026 itself.
So yeah, a few key dates to put in the diary and watch out for.
But otherwise, that's probably us for the day.
Calvin, any final words before I close us out?
