Aussie Depreciates Ahead of RBA’s Cash Rate Decision, 50+ PIP Volatility Likely in AUD Parity; June 07, 2022

Reserve Bank of Australia’s Cash Rate Decision

Today Australia will come up with the 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.

During RBA’s previous meet, RBA raised Interest rate for the first time since Nov 2020 to 0.35 pct vs 0.10 previous release. In today’s meet, markets expect 40 Basis Point rise to 0.75 pct vs 0.35 pct previous release. Now the big question is, does RBA raise Interest rate on slower pace or faster as expected by the other economists? From the political news of the Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor party won a May 21 national election, bringing to an end nine years of center-right Liberal-National government. Let’s see how new government take steps to bring down the inflation and imply appropriate Monetary Policy.
