RBA Dated OIS Scale Back Easing Expectations Post-RBA

STIR

RBA-dated OIS pricing is dealing mixed across meetings today after yesterday’s RBA Policy Decision. A cumulative 43bps of easing is priced by year-end compared to 48bps going into yesterday’s decision.

  • With the market having indicated a 0% likelihood of a 25bp hike or cut transpiring yesterday, it was the tone of the RBA statement that caused the market to scale back easing expectations.
  • Nevertheless, terminal rate expectations have softened to 4.30% versus the prevailing effective cash rate of 4.32%. Any prospect of further tightening was eliminated in early December following the October CPI Monthly release in late November.
