RBA backing 'gradual and modest' rate cuts, ANZ chief economist Richard Yetsenga declares after Michele Bullock's speech
Aussie mortgage holders waiting for a flurry of interest rate cuts could have their hopes dashed after Reserve Bank of Australia governor Michele Bullock stood firm on the central bank's controversial rate hold. Ms Bullock addressed the annual Anika Foundation event on Thursday where she said the RBA had expected the unemployment rate to rise in June and noted inflation was declining alongside its forecast. "Last week brought us the latest labour market data, which confirmed that the unemployment rate increased in the June quarter," Ms Bullock said. "Some of the coverage of the latest data suggested this was a shock, but the outcome for the June quarter was in line with the forecast we released in May.' The Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed unemployment jumped 0.2 per cent to 4.3 per cent in June, exceeding market expectations and leading some to question the recent hold. ANZ chief economist Richard Yetsenga was in attendance, and said the RBA governor would likely deliver near term rate relief, but this would not be the start of a cutting spree. 'You would say almost certainly we'll get a cash rate cut next month,' Mr Yetsenga told Business Now on the sidelines of the event. 'But the tone of the speech today I think was consistent with easing still being pretty gradual and modest. 'The market's pricing three, nearly four rate cuts. I don't think the speech was consistent today with that many.' Ms Bullock backed in the rationale behind the central bank's shock rate hold, telling reporters the call came down to 'timing' of inflation data. 'We expect trimmed mean inflation to fall a little further in the June quarter in year-ended terms,' the RBA governor said. 'However, the monthly CPI Indicator data, which are volatile, suggest that the fall may not be quite as much as we forecast back in May. 'We still think it will show inflation declining slowly towards 2.5 per cent, but we are looking for data to support this expectation. 'Encouragingly, as inflation has slowed, the labour market has eased only gradually and the unemployment rate is relatively low.' Every major bank predicts the RBA will cut rates in August and forecasts at least one other cut this year. Westpac predicts the RBA will drop rates four times up until 2026, bringing the cash rate down a full per cent, while CBA and ANZ forecast the cash rate to drop to 3.35 per cent by November. NAB is tipping three more cuts to bring the cash rate down to 3.1 per cent by February. The RBA held the cash rate at 3.85 per cent in July after cutting twice since the beginning of the year.
