Via Westpac, they have been in the ’40bp in June‘ camp ahead of this note, no change in forecast:
The RBA is almost certain to raise the cash rate next week. Since the decision to make the first move on May 3 we have consistently argued that the best decision will be to move by 40 basis points. That would eliminate the emergency stimulus from 2020 and send a clear signal that the Board recognises its formidable task to move inflation back within the target band by 2024 and is prepared to act decisively.
That’s in summary from a longer piece.
