Free AccessMNI Table Of RBA Cash Rate Forecast;HSBC Pushes Back Hike View
By Sophia Rodrigues
SYDNEY (MNI) - Economists at HSBC have pushed back their forecast for the
first hike in the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate citing soft wage price
data and a faster-than-expected cooling of the housing market.
They now expect first hike in this cycle in Q2 of 2019 versus previous
forecast for a hike in November.
"Today's soft wages print, particularly for the private sector, suggests
less momentum than we had expected. At the same time, the housing market has
cooled a bit more abruptly than forecast and the RBA remains very patient," HSBC
wrote in a note Wednesday.
Data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics earlier Wednesday
showed wage price index rose 0.5% q/q in Q1, the same pace as Q4 which was
revised downwards from +0.6%. The outcome was lower than MNI median forecast for
+0.6% q/q.
Below is a table of forecasts for the next RBA cash rate decision on June 5
and the outlook for the cash rate. The cash rate is currently at 1.5%.
