RBA Minutes: Board judged the case for holding rates steady stronger than for hiking

The Minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) June monetary policy meeting showed Tuesday that the “board judged the case for holding rates steady stronger than for hiking.”

Additional takeaways

Needed to be vigilant to upside risks to inflation, data suggested upside risk for May CPI.

Economic uncertainty meant it was difficult to rule in or out future changes in policy.

Recent data not sufficient to change outlook for inflation returning to target by 2026.

Judged still possible to bring inflation to target while keeping employment gains.

Board saw downside risks to the labor market, vacancy rates pointed to weakness.

Unemployment rate could rise quickly as it had done in the past.

Continued rapid rise in business insolvencies would be negative for jobs.

Wise to give little weight to upward revisions to household consumption.

Q1 GDP growth had been very weak, wage growth looked to have peaked.

Hike might be needed if board judged policy was not "sufficiently restrictive".

August forecast round would allow staff to carefully judge spare capacity in economy.

Judgements about spare capacity were very uncertain, should be treated with caution.

Inflation expectations still anchored, but market premia had drifted higher.

A material rise in inflation expectations could require significantly higher rates.

Market reaction

AUD/USD trimmed a part of its intraday losses and jumped to retest 0.6650 following the RBA Minutes release. The pair is currently trading 0.17% lower on the day at 0.6647.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
