RBA Dated OIS Back To Pricing A Tightening Halt

STIR

In sympathy with movements in global STIR, RBA dated OIS has softened 21-34bp for meetings beyond May. Unlike most other markets, however, AU STIR has once again (the first time was on Tuesday) joined Canada in signalling a halt to the tightening cycle. AU STIR had taken a tentative step in reinstating the tightening cycle yesterday.

  • April meeting pricing has softened to 2bp of easing versus 4bp of tightening yesterday.
  • For comparison, U.S. and NZ STIR still have respectively 7bp and 15bp of tightening priced. CA STIR has around 10bp of easing priced for the BoC’s April meeting.
  • With the peak in the cash rate seen (market’s view), the market is pricing a full 25bp cut from the RBA by year-end.
