RBA Dated OIS Prices 40bps Of Tightening Ahead Of Tuesday’s RBA Decision

STIR

RBA-dated OIS pricing is 1-2bps softer across meetings today ahead of the RBA Policy Decision on Tuesday.

  • The market currently assigns a 67% probability to a 25bp rate hike next Tuesday. This percentage had risen to 80% following the release of higher-than-expected Q3 and September CPI data in late October. However, it retreated in the days following RBA Governor Bullock's non-committal comments during her appearance before the Senate Economics Committee.
  • The recent moderation in expectations has also been influenced by major central banks opting to maintain their policy rates.
  • Expectations for the terminal rate now stand at 4.47%, signifying an increase of 40bps by May 2024. These expectations had peaked at 4.54% in late October, marking the highest level since mid-July.
