Tuesday, March 3, 2015 2:12 AM UTC
- For the RBA meeting today the market is split on whether the Bank will cut the policy rate.
- RBC is calling for the board to leave the cash rate at 2.25%, leaving more time to digest the impact of the February easing.
- So far, data have been soft, but in line with remarks in the Statement on Monetary Policy.
- With 12bps of cuts priced-in for today's meeting and 18/29 economists calling for a cut, a decision to hold rates steady should be AUD-positive.
