• RBA Governor Lowe's Anika foundation address headlines the local docket on Tuesday. The speech will be on the topic of "Delta, the Economy and Monetary Policy." The Governor should flesh out the thought process behind the RBA's most recent monetary policy decision, while we expect him to try and retain a sense of optionality when it comes to the future direction of monetary policy.
