Predictmarkets is a website where members can trade on future real-world outcomes, but with virtual cash. Punters get to make like stockbrokers without suffering any pain or real loss, and tease out some interesting trends.

Right now the general election and official cash rate are the two hottest topics.

The site is actively predicting the percentage point of vote that will be received by each political party come election night, and which party will form the next government.

More pressing is whether the Reserve Bank governor will drop the OCR, and by how much.

Heather Kirkham leads the strategy team at the NZX, and she spoke to Sunrise.
