MNI RBA Preview - November 2022: 25bp Next, Hikes Into 2023

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • While inflation showed no signs of slowing in Q3, recent RBA commentary gives many reasons why it is likely to stick to 25bp in November rather than return to a 50bp move. As a result, we expect rates to rise to 2.85% at this meeting from 2.6%.
  • There is a risk though that the RBA hikes 50bp on November 1, on the back of CPI inflation rising to its highest since mid-1990 in Q3 and a clear pick-up in domestically-driven price pressures.
  • Market pricing has shifted up since the October meeting and there's about 30bp priced for the November meeting with a terminal rate of just under 4% in August 2023.
