Key Quotes:
“Oct OIS is pricing ~ a 75% chance to a 25bps RBA cut tomorrow and TD along with the bulk of the analyst community (BBG: 19/25, Reuters: 25/36) expect the RBA to ease. We're received Oct'19 OIS.
Q2’19 GDP at +0.5%/q missed the RBA’s +0.75%/q f/c and the RBA Gov noted in his Armidale address “we did not expect this slowdown, so it has come as a bit of a surprise”.
The RBA's Sep Minutes removed reference to "the accumulation of additional evidence" for it to cut that had appeared in the Aug Minutes. With the RBA playing catch-up to achieve its late 19/20 GDP f/c's (that assume a 25bps Nov cut is delivered) and the rise in spare capacity supporting the Gov's claim that "wages growth looks to have stalled recently", why should the RBA wait to cut?”
