flag New Zealand banks raised fixed mortgage rates to highs due to higher funding costs, but break fees remain low.

flag New Zealand banks, including ASB and Kiwibank, have raised fixed mortgage rates, with one- to three-year terms increasing by 10 to 20 basis points, pushing rates to market highs amid rising wholesale funding costs. flag Short-term fixed rates were lowered slightly, while term deposit rates rose. flag The moves follow similar actions by ANZ, BNZ, and Westpac, reflecting broader market trends. flag Despite higher borrowing costs, break fees remain low, and borrowers are advised to compare total loan costs. flag The housing market is expected to stay stagnant, with no significant price changes anticipated.
