Meituan (03690.HK) Q2 adjusted net profit 2.52 bln yuan, up 69% YoY.

A Reuters survey shows most economists expect the RBNZ to deliver a second consecutive 25bp hike next Wednesday, lifting the official cash rate to 2.75%. About 90% of 31 respondents forecast the move. Two‑thirds expect at least another 25bp tightening next quarter; the median year‑end OCR forecast is 3.00%. The RBNZ implemented its first rate increase in over three years last month and signalled further tightening to return inflation to the 1–3% target. Official data showed inflation rose to 4.1% last quarter, a two‑and‑a‑half‑year high; economists say inflation likely will not return to the target this year, partly due to upward pressure on energy prices. HSBC Australia & New Zealand chief economist Paul Bloxham said the main reason is that inflation is above target.
