Key Quotes

“After a string of unexpected moves by central banks as of late, the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) policy meeting on Tuesday will likely attract more attention than usual”.

“The Aussie has weakened noticeably in the past week as it was under increased selling pressure on the back of increasing expectations that RBA is the next central bank to join the “easing bandwagon” and cut its cash rate from the present 2.5%”.

“Whatever the RBA decides, more information on the policy outlook will come available when the RBA releases its Statement on Monetary Policy on Friday”.

No need for further easing by the RBA – BAML

According to Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, the domestic scenario in Australia has not deteriorated enough that further easing is required, hence predict the RBA to keep rates on hold in the upcoming meeting.
