RBA Dated OIS Steady Ahead of Minutes

STIR

The RBA Minutes for April are due to be released soon (0230 BST). After the RBA left the cash rate unchanged at 3.6% with forward guidance shifting dovishly, the market will be dissecting the Minutes for clues on what could prompt the RBA to resume tightening, particularly ahead of the 26 April release of Q1 CPI.

  • RBA-dated OIS pricing is 1-3bp firmer for meetings beyond July. A 26% chance of a 25bp hike in May is priced with a cumulative 13bp of tightening priced by August.
  • Year-end easing expectations are at 12bp versus 29bp ahead of the Easter holiday.
