SpanishA Quick Preview of RBA’s Cash Rate Decision, 50+ PIP Volatility Likely in AUD Parity; July 05, 2022
Australia’s Cash Rate Decision & Monetary Policy Statement
Australia has scheduled to release Policy Rate Decision at 0430 GMT/1000 IST. Short term interest rates are the paramount factor in currency valuation – traders look at most other indicators merely to predict how rates will change in the future. Most importantly, Monetary Policy discusses the economic outlook and offers clues on the outcome of future decisions.
Economists expect the interest rate to be hiked up for the third time in a row. The major question is whether the official cash rate will rise to 1.1 or 1.35? In previous meet, the RBA has indicated that a 0.25 or a 0.5 increase is on the table. So according to the market expectations, RBA will probably go with the 0.5 which will bring the cash rate to 1.35 from 0.85. Currently Australian economy is comparatively in safe zone with unemployment down and the inflation rate at 5 per cent and still rising.
Now Australian economy continues to recover from the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition the economic impacts of the war in Ukraine, the Queensland floods and the current energy crisis have continued to drive inflation rates up forcing the RBA to match that with upward trending interest rates only.
