Westpac have a long-time August rate cut from the RBA too.

But, an overnight note from MS, citing yesterday's wages data:

  • There are still some signs of wages pressure, particularly in the private sector but these are contingent on further improvement in the labour market to continue.
  • We remain cautious on this front, and expect the RBA to cut rates in August.
