No hike from the RBA
BY Janne Muta
|July 4, 2023The Reserve Bank of Australia left the rates unchanged. The market pricing prior to today's decision indicated a 63% probability of no change, so the decision didn’t come as a surprise. Additionally, the RBA made minimal changes to its language and maintained the existing forward guidance. However, the RBA did emphasize that this decision is aimed at reassessing the current situation.
On a short trading day before a holiday, the stock and bond markets closed early with little change in equity prices due to a lack of economic data. The consumer discretionary sector received a boost from Tesla's positive delivery and production figures. Looking ahead, there will be a focus on upcoming data releases, including the US Services PMI report and the June jobs report, which will provide insights into the health of the US labour market. Monthly NFP gains are expected to moderate (+224K, 339K previous), leading to a slight increase in the unemployment rate. Despite some deceleration in the broader economy, the labour market has remained strong, benefiting consumers and supporting GDP growth and financial market performance in 2023.
