The latest poll on the Reserve Bank of Australia from Reuters, in brief:
RBA to hold steady in April: All 39 economists surveyed by Reuters expect the Reserve Bank of Australia to keep the cash rate at 4.10% on April 1.
Two cuts expected in 2025: Median forecast sees 25 bps cuts in May and September, bringing the rate to 3.60% by Q3.
Cautious easing approach: RBA is likely to cut gradually due to still-elevated core inflation (3.2%), low unemployment, and recovering growth.
May cut hinges on inflation data: Around 75% of economists expect a cut in May, pending Q1 inflation results.
Major banks aligned on April: ANZ, CBA, NAB, and Westpac all expect rates to remain unchanged next week but differ on the pace and depth of easing.
Market pricing in line: Interest rate futures broadly reflect the poll's expectations.
RBA wary of over-easing: Analysts say the RBA is aware that deep rate cuts could reignite inflation due to ongoing supply constraints.
The RBA statement will be at 2.30 pm Sydney time on April 1:
