Reserve Bank of Australia opinions flying about, these from earlier:
- Westpac are tipping a cut: Westpac forecasting an RBA rate cut on October 6
- NAB are also, but say October or November: NAB expects further RBA easing as soon as the first week of October
- CBA are a no: CBA is forecasting the RBA on hold at the next meeting
A piece now from the Wall Street Journal (may be gated), a 'no cut'. In brief:
- Bank remains watchful of the economy
- is primed to lend more support if needed
- but it is unlikely that there will be a pyrotechnic policy announcement at the bank's next board meeting on Oct. 6.
