Over in Australia, the Reserve Bank is set to make their next announcement about the OCR in the coming days - and speculation indicates it will go up again.

Australia's official cash rate is currently at 4.35 percent, but the RBA will be putting it up at least one more time this year, according to one expert.

HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham outlined his predictions further.

Footwear icon Nike has seen shares drop and it's fallen out of the S&P 100, raising concerns about the brand's future.

The sport and athleisure company has seen some challenges, including football star Kylian Mbappé's recent departure from the brand to an industry rival.

Streetwear influencer Adrian Daniel says it's normal for brands to see their days in the sun and then drop off, but Nike's fall is unusual. 

"You kind of wouldn't expect it from a giant like they are."

Former Reserve Bank economist Michael Reddell says most private sector forecasts were similar to the RBNZ's incorrect predictions. 

He says that doesn't entirely absolve the bank.

"The difference, of course, is that the private sector forecasters weren't responsible for setting monetary policy - the Reserve Bank MPC was."
