RBA: 50bps in cuts look assured - Westpac
Bill Evans, analyst at Westpac, suggests that the RBA’s forecasts in the August Statement on Monetary Policy are downbeat for wages employment and inflation despite factoring in 50bps of cuts in the cash rate.
“As such, two moves look assured, consistent with Westpac’s forecast for cuts in October and February. However, if global conditions deteriorate further, more stimulus is likely to be required. The minutes of the Reserve Bank Board meeting for August provided one significant surprise. In the Governor’s decision statement following the meeting on August 6, the conclusion included “the Board would continue to monitor developments in the labour market closely and adjust monetary policy if needed to support sustainable growth in the economy and the achievement of the inflation target over time. That statement was repeated almost verbatim in the Statement on Monetary Policy on August 9. Consequently we remain comfortable with our call that the next move will be in October – a respectable pause from the last cut in July but never indicating any doubt that another move was required. A second respectable gap between October and February would also indicate a clear intention to move just based on the domestic outlook.”
