Key Quotes
“While we don't think last week's labour market report was as dire as some claimed, and we see consumers spending the upcoming tax cuts under a Coalition government, the RBA all-but admitted that they should have cut on 7 May.”
“June is fully priced for a cut, and unlike the surprise pause in May, it seems that a June cut is more likely. A second cut is also priced - and was embedded in the SoMP forecasts - it is just down to timing. So we look for a June cut and leave August as the next timing for now, for a terminal rate of 1%.”
