SOCIETE GENERALE: The RBA will struggle to raise interest rates for three consecutive months and no important changes to its policy statement are expected

July 3 - We expect the RBA to keep its cash rate unchanged at 4.10% at its July 4 policy meeting, following two quarter-point rate hikes in May and June, Societe General notes, as in our view it would be difficult for policymakers to implement three consecutive months of rate hikes following May's sharp drop in inflation. We maintain our base scenario expectation that the RBA will opt for "pause" in July with no meaningful changes to the policy statement and expect the terminal rate to be 4.35%. If there is a rate hike and/or a hawkish change in the policy statement, the chances of a terminal rate above 4.35% will increase.

MUFG:The RBA needs to be hawkish or the Aussie dollar will come under pressure

July 4 - Interest rate markets are currently pricing in a 4 basis point rate hike at the Reserve Bank of Australia's July policy meeting. We agree with current market pricing and expect the RBA to keep rates on hold tomorrow. If the RBA keeps rates on hold as we expect, then the market's attention will quickly shift to the RBA's future interest rate guidance. Markets expect the RBA to raise rates by about 40 basis points by the end of the year, with the next hike expected in August or September. The current price action highlights expectations that the RBA will be hawkish, otherwise the Australian dollar will come under pressure.
