RBA Dated OIS Extends Its Post-RBA Decision Softening

STIR

RBA-dated OIS pricing has experienced a 2-9 bps softening across meetings today, building on the downward trend observed after the recent RBA decision. As of the present moment, the softening from pre-RBA levels has aggregated to 6-15 bps across various meetings.

  • With only around a 10% probability assigned to a 25bp hike occurring yesterday, the recent adjustment in pricing can be ascribed to the RBA statement lacking any hawkish undertones.
  • Simultaneously, there has been a 5 bps reduction in terminal rate expectations today, settling at 4.37%. This revision aligns with the broader softening observed across the $-bloc in response to yesterday's disappointing US JOLTs job openings data.
  • Looking ahead, the US economic calendar today features the ADP private payrolls report, with Non-Farm Payrolls scheduled for Friday.
  • The current movement adds to the persistent decline in the anticipated terminal rate, marking a 14 bps decrease since the release of October's CPI Monthly data, which fell below expectations last week.
