RBA: VIEW: TD Securities write "our forecasts have long pencilled in a Nov cut,
on the prospect that labour market metrics were more likely to deteriorate. This
is playing out. The RBA could wait for Q3 inflation and an extra month of
employment data to cut in Nov, but why wait? Granted there could be trade talk
progress over the following month, but the RBA is playing catchup on the
domestic front, having missed its Aug SoMP Q2 0.75%/q f/c. The miss on GDP, the
dovish tilt to the Sep Minutes this week and the steady rise in spare capacity
suggest there is little need for the RBA to wait till Nov. Accordingly TD brings
forward its Nov 25bps cut to 0.75% to Oct. We leave our 0.5% cash rate call for
Q2 next year unchanged from prior forecasts."
