Rate hike timing questions persist – TD Securities


TD Securities strategists reiterate their view that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will likely need to raise the cash rate to 4.60% in this cycle. They note that the May policy statement suggests hesitation to hike in June, and expects the RBA minutes to clarify this. TD currently forecasts the next RBA cash rate increase in August, with a peak at 4.60%.

RBA minutes to guide hike path

“We discussed back in Feb that the RBA may ultimately need to take the cash rate to 4.60% in this cycle which looks increasingly likely.”

“We forecast the next RBA cash rate hike in Aug, with the peak at 4.60%.”

“It’s just the timing that’s the question.”

“The May policy statement implies the RBA is hesitant to hike in June and the minutes may shed light on this.”

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
