Free AccessBig 4 Views Vs. Market Pricing
After the latest round of hawkish adjustments to the RBA views held by the Big 4, ANZ have the most aggressive hiking view, at least in the immediate term (with their view briefly outstripping what is priced into markets at present, based on IB strip settlement levels at Friday’s close), given that they now look for a further 4 consecutive 50bp rate hikes through November before an elongated pause. This still leaves their terminal rate assumption below that portrayed in wider market pricing. Westpac’s hiking cycle assumptions eventually catch up with ANZ’s, after lagging in the period between the September and February decisions, with an equal terminal rate projection.
- Further out, CBA are the only one of the big 4 with cuts pencilled into their projections before the end of ’23 and also have the shallowest terminal rate assumption (2.60%), which they still deem to be comfortably above their assessment of neutral (1.60%). Meanwhile, Westpac look for 100bp of cuts in ’24 (beyond the forecast horizon provided in the chart). Elsewhere, NAB note that “a combination of below trend growth and inflation moving back to target over 2023 and into 2024, as in our forecasts, raises the possibility of rate cuts at some point in 2023 or 2024,” although their official forecast track has no cuts pencilled in through its horizon. Meanwhile, the IB strip was pricing in circa 22bp of easing in its ’23 cash rate profile, from peak rate to post-peak trough, as of Friday’s close. A reminder that terminal pricing re: the RBA's current tightening cycle operates well shy of its cycle peak at present.
- A reminder that last week saw RBA Governor Lowe stress that the Bank will do what is necessary when it comes to anchoring inflation expectations, with the Bank set to steadily raise interest rates, while he noted that the cash rate will reach the “neutral” level at some point (which he noted sits at 2.50%, at a minimum). This came after Deputy Governor Bullock pointed to a neutral real cash rate of 0.5-1.5% (which equates to 2.5-3.5% in nominal terms when referencing the lower boundary of the Bank’s inflation target range, and 3.0-4.0% when using the mid-point of the range).
- Domestic Q2 CPI data & the latest monetary policy decision from the U.S. Federal Reserve (both due Wednesday) provide the meaningful risk events for participants and economists to digest this week. With the tight labour market, inflation dynamics and supersized rate hikes deployed by some of the RBA’s global counterparts cited as potential trigger points for larger than 50bp moves from Martin Place.
