Aussie püsib RBA tõustes 25 aluspunkti võrra

RBA raises cash rate by 25 bp

The Reserve Bank of Australia lifted interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the cash rate to 3.1%. This is the highest the cash rate has been since 2012, and there was some speculation that the RBA might take a pause from raising rates. One can also make the argument that with the next rate meeting not until February 7^th, there will anyway be a “default pause” in January. As the move was widely expected, the Australian dollar has had a muted reaction to the move.

There wasn’t much for investors to glean from Philip Lowe’s rate statement, which was almost identical to the November statement. Lowe noted that the RBA expects to increase rates, but “is not on a pre-set course” and rate decisions would be data-dependent. This last point may seem obvious, but events such as consumer spending, employment and inflation will be key drivers which determine rate policy in the early part of 2023. There is a great deal of uncertainty as to the terminal rate, which forecasts ranging from 3.3% all the way to 3.8%. What is clear is that the RBA is likely to resume its rate hikes in February, barring a remarkable decline in inflation.
