RBNZ's Governor Graeme Wheeler is on the wires, via Reuters, noting that the central bank doesn't "hold that view" of inflation pressures ramping up quickly.
Key headlines (via Reuters):

- Says non-tradeables inflation rising "only slowly"
- We're not seeing a building in inflation pressures that some other commentators are seeing
- We are neutral on monetary policy, expect OCR to remain at current level for "foreseeable future"
