RBA Dep Gov Hauser: RBA policy is still restrictive

Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser speaking in an interview on Bloomberg TV:

  • Hard to see bad news in the latest jobs data
  • No single piece of data will trigger a rate decision (Hauser referring to inflation data)
  • Monthly CPI data in Australia is incomplete, have to wait for quarterly data
  • Market curve assumes there will be three or four more cuts, RBA is not so sure
  • Models show inflation will undershoot mid point of band even if interest rates held constant
  • RBA focus is still on inflation
  • Global economy is a risk – uncertainty may weigh on Australian economy
