The latest NZIER Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion (QSBO) showed a recovery in business confidence in the June quarter, with a net 12 percent of firms expecting an improvement in general economic conditions over the coming months, on a seasonally adjusted basis. This was a pick-up from the net 1 percent expecting a better general economic outlook in the previous quarterly survey, which was undertaken shortly after the onset of the US-Israel-Iran war that boosted fuel prices. Meanwhile, demand in firms’ own business was broadly flat, with only a net 1 percent of firms reporting increased activity in the June quarter on a seasonally adjusted basis. This NZIER QSBO was undertaken between 10 June and 7 July. This coincided with a period when global fuel prices began to fall as the US and Iran reached a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding guaranteeing ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This recent easing of the fuel crisis appeared to have supported an improvement in confidence in the June quarter. However, geopolitical conditions in the Middle East remain highly volatile and uncertain, with tensions between the US and Iran re-escalating and fuel prices resurging in more recent weeks. This environment of ongoing uncertainty continues to drive caution amongst firms when it comes to hiring and investment. A net 10 percent of firms reported that they had reduced staff numbers in the June quarter, and a net 1 percent plan to reduce staff counts in the next quarter. A net 3 percent of firms plan to cut Trump on Iran: seeks compensation for shielding nations in Strait of Hormuz
