RBA: VIEW: ANZ suggest that "it seems that having taken interest rates to a
record low, the RBA is very much back in the mode of being patient rather than
doing more to push unemployment down faster, especially given the "significant
monetary stimulus already in place and the long and variable lags associated
with monetary policy." This potentially pushes the timing of the next rate cut
out considerably (data dependent, of course). It will likely take more than a
few disappointing employment reports for it to become clear that the
unemployment rate is trending higher. And we don't get another inflation report
until late April. This suggests our expectation of another rate cut in April
needs to be reconsidered, regardless of the downside risks to the economy posed
by the bushfires and coronavirus."
