Australian Markets Weekly: 1 August 2016
The market has continued to price toward the likelihood that the RBA will cut rates again at tomorrow’s Board meeting, pricing in this morning a 64% chance of an easing, with 36 of 47 economists surveyed by Reuters on Friday forecasting a cut this week.
RBA decision need not be so knife-edged
Key points:
- Inflation was right in line with RBA May forecasts
- NAB continues to see no new case for the RBA to ease further
- On reflection, Q1 underlying inflation was more the outlier
- Even though risks continue, the outlook for growth and inflation has not deteriorated
- Market price reaction more if the RBA remain on hold tomorrow
- Retail Sales, Building Approvals, and International Trade also due this week
- Offshore this week: More important US data points, including ISMs, PCE deflators and payrolls; Japanese Government stimulus package tomorrow and BoE Thursday
