Key Points
- As expected the RBA left interest rates on hold.
- While it’s a close call, chances are that the RBA will cut rates again before year end reflecting the poor business investment outlook, greater than expected weakness in commodity prices, the $A remaining too high, a likely loss of momentum in home price growth and to offset a de facto monetary policy tightening that has flowed from higher bank mortgage rates.
