Citi add, markets may be leaning too dovish into the upcoming RBA decision.
Specifically, it may be too soon for the RBA to flag rises in market interest
rates in its policy statement awaiting follow through from a broader range of
domestic banks and there is likewise too much uncertainty on potential pass
through from recent political developments for policymakers to dwell on this
factor. With underlying economic data flow showing strength both relative to
expectations and on an absolute basis since the last policy decision, the terms
of trade modestly higher and trade-weighted AUD lower, the likelihood may be for
a little changed policy statement and for Governor Lowe to reiterate that the
Bank has significant scope for patience before moving rates in his later
comments. Investors risk being disappointed should the Governor not move to flag
risk that the next move in rates may be in either direction, implying increased
risk for a cut in line with the 'truly' neutral bias of the RBNZ.
