Nomura says:

  • It sees both the RBA and RBNZ on hold all through 2015

Nomura tempers it somewhat with the comment that the RBA are more likely to cut :

  • if the housing market cools
  • the labour market deteriorates further
  • and inflationary pressures do not tick up
  • and commodity prices remain weak

(This from a client research note issued on Thursday)

Actually, I posted a very nice piece from Annette Beacher at TD Securities on the signposts to watch to see whether the next move is up or down for the RBA cash rate … here: What does the RBA need to see for a rate cut? Or … what do they need to hike?

(And also, check this out from just a few hours ago on … how the SNB decision to slip in negative rate territory might impact on the RBA and AUD)
