BOC: Consensus Looks for Cuts, But Sizeable Minority See Threat of Delay
BOC
- Of the analysts surveyed in MNI's Preview, the majority see a 25bps cut to 4.75% today, however a sizeable minority see easing being delayed to July - or later. Indeed, many who foresee a June cut also acknowledge that a delay is possible today, but the progress on inflation and slowing GDP outlook has proved sufficient to begin easing.
