On the Reserve Bank of Australia decision today:
If you are just waking up:
- The Reserve Bank of Australia announcement and statement today is due at 0430GMT (Tuesday 02 August 2016)
- The current cash rate target is 1.75%
- 20 of 25 economists polled by Bloomberg expect a cut (prior to the Q2 CPI release last week, 24 of 25 had been expecting a cut. 4 have thus changed sides, citing inflation being at the RBA target and the bank will therefore not move today)
- The latest OIS pricing I have seen puts the probability of a cut today at 64%
