STIR: RBA Dated OIS Easing Expectations Strengthen But Not For Tomorrow
STIR
RBA-dated OIS pricing has eased by 1–3bps across 2025 meetings ahead of tomorrow’s RBA policy decision.
- A 25bps rate cut is now nearly fully priced for April, with the probability rising to 95%. However, a full rate cut is not anticipated until May.
- Market expectations for the September meeting have softened by approximately 40bps since mid-November, driven by concerns over weakening domestic economic growth. Notably, in mid-November, a full 25bps cut wasn’t expected until August, marking a significant shift toward earlier rate cuts.
- Despite the broader repricing, the probability of a rate cut at the December meeting remains low, with markets assigning only a 9% chance.
