RBA Dated OIS Pricing 50bps Of Easing By Year End Ahead Of RBA Decision Tomorrow

STIR

RBA-dated OIS pricing is 6-15bps firmer for meetings beyond March ahead of tomorrow’s RBA Policy Decision. Nevertheless, a cumulative 48bps of easing remains priced by year-end.

  • Aligned with the unanimous Bloomberg consensus anticipating a status quo decision, the market currently indicates a 0% likelihood of a 25bp hike or cut transpiring tomorrow.
  • Concurrently, terminal rate expectations persist at the prevailing effective cash rate of 4.32%, having eliminated any prospect of further tightening since early December. To provide context, the market had factored in nearly 20bps of additional tightening leading up to the October CPI Monthly release in late November.
