RBA Dated OIS Pricing Little Changed Ahead Of CPI Monthly

STIR

RBA-dated OIS pricing is flat to 1bp firmer across meetings ahead of today’s CPI Monthly for August.

  • Consensus expects the August CPI Monthly to print 5.2% y/y after 4.9% in July. If correct, this will be the first re-acceleration in annual rate in 4 months. Fuel prices will be a big driver for the jump in inflation in August while rent inflation is likely to be persistent.
  • The market currently gives only an 11% chance of a 25bp hike at the October meeting.
  • However, terminal rate expectations sit at 4.31%, some 15bps higher than in early September and at the highest level since late July. Nonetheless, the peak expected rate remains ~ 45bps lower than the 4.75% seen in early July.
