Snippet via National Australia Bank:
- the market including NAB widely expecting another 50 bps hike to 1.35%.
- In his last outing two Fridays ago, Governor Lowe was reasonably explicit noting “we have a meeting in July, we’ll be discussing 25 or 50 again”.
- Robust retail sales and very strong job vacancies data last week only further strengthen the case to continue to move quickly away from emergency settings.
I posted earlier on ING also calling +50.
- AUD approaches Tuesday’s RBA meeting with mostly headwinds – not much rebound expected
Also:
- WPAC: We expect the Board will decide to follow the 50bp rate increase in June with a further 50bp increase in July.
- UBS forecast 50bp rate hikes for the RBA in July
- ICYMI – RBA to raise the cash rate target by 50bp in July – BoA forecast
