Yeah.
voice-verified
Yeah, so as y as you said, sort of ver very light on data um overnight.
voice-verified
We'll just talk about the the New Zealand employment data given given that you've asked me the question, but then I think we there's a few we might talk about commodity prices after that.
voice-verified
But um yeah, so B and Z is looking for um
voice-verified
This is sort of sorry, the Q four employment data and our BNZ colleagues are looking for some signs of improvement um or at least a a halting in the deterioration that we've seen.
voice-verified
So they're looking for employment to to rise by point three percent in the quarter.

Um and that would represent the first um expansion in in eighteen months.
voice-verified
Um and they're also forecasting the unemployment rate to hold steady at five point.
voice-verified
three.
voice-verified
Ha ha yes.
voice-verified
Um yeah, look, I just thought it's worth it's worth sort of looking at what we've seen in commodity prices overnight.
voice-verified
You've seen um a reasonable jump in um in oil oil prices or they are they are they are they are higher overnight.
voice-verified
Um and I think what's driving that is just continued concern around um US around relations.
voice-verified
So news overnight is saying that um the US
voice-verified
US has shot down an Iranian drone which approached an American aircraft carrier carrier in the Arabian Sea.
voice-verified
Um and so that's sort of also, you know, adding to concerns around sort of oil tankers moving through um the Strait of Hormos, 'cause there's reports that a US military fueled procurement programme was challenged by Iranian gun gunboats.
voice-verified
So just a little bit of uncertainty there.
voice-verified
And I've read that, you know, given that uncertainty, tanker rate prices are are uh have risen over the past over the past few weeks um on these concerns because Iran, yeah.
voice-verified
Yeah.
