The futures market is currently pricing in a 10.4 per cent chance that the Reserve Bank of Australia will reduce the cash rate on 4 February, compared with a 53 per cent chance in mid-January. National Australia Bank’s chief economist Alan Oster previously expected a rate cut in February, and while he still believes that the RBA should so, he says the next rate cut is now likely to be in April. The other major banks also expect an official interest rate cut in April.
