What would change this
Catalysts
The ranking recomputed assuming one central bank moves its rate path. Arithmetic on the inputs, not a forecast of how price reacts.
ECB · next decision 2026-09-10 (35d)
| Scenario | New gap | Side | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hikes 50bp | 1.510 | LONG | Signal holds |
| Hikes 25bp | 1.085 | LONG | Signal holds |
| Holds, tone unchanged | 0.557 | LONG | Signal holds |
| Signals a cut | 0.068 | LONG | Falls below threshold |
| Cuts 50bp | 0.272 | SHORT | Direction flips |
RBNZ · next decision 2026-08-19 (13d)
| Scenario | New gap | Side | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hikes 50bp | 0.055 | SHORT | Direction flips |
| Hikes 25bp | 0.212 | LONG | Falls below threshold |
| Holds, tone unchanged | 0.557 | LONG | Signal holds |
| Signals a cut | 1.038 | LONG | Signal holds |
| Cuts 50bp | 1.543 | LONG | Signal holds |
Scenarios that would end this setup: ECB signals a cut → falls below threshold; ECB cuts 50bp → direction flips; RBNZ hikes 50bp → direction flips; RBNZ hikes 25bp → falls below threshold. Everything else leaves the signal intact, though the gap changes.
