RBA Dated OIS - Higher Chance of May Hike

STIR

In the eye of the global banking crisis storm, AU STIR not only moved to price a pause from the RBA at the April meeting but also sounded the end of the tightening cycle.

  • Since mid-March, RBA-dated OIS pricing for the April meeting has fluctuated around a no-change decision with current pricing attaching only a 16% chance of a 25bp hike.
  • More noteworthy recently, however, has been the firming in May meeting pricing, which hit its highest level since 15 March.
  • The cumulative tightening over the April and May meetings is now at 9bp versus -8bp on 20 March.
  • With global banking concerns receding, the market appears to be starting to hedge itself against the possibility of an unfavourable Q1 CPI print on 26 April.
