As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: Growth above forecast usually supports the NZD as traders price a more resilient economy and potentially higher rates for longer.

Below the forecast: A downside surprise, especially a contraction, usually weakens the NZD as expectations shift toward RBNZ easing.

In line with the forecast: An in-line figure often limits the initial move, but sector details and revisions can still alter the market’s view.
