Today is the day of the race that stops the nation, but before the champagne flows there’s an RBA meeting to get through. NAB’s Tapas Strickland says the odds are on a 25bp hike today, but the board will be considering last week’s inflation surprise and yesterday’s retail numbers. So there’s an outside chance they will go higher. The FOMC meets later this week, and tonight’s JOLTs job openings numbers will be given some consideration. It’s a while till the next ECB meeting, but an inflation shock justifies last week’s 75 basis point hike and could justify a third such rise next time. And a soggy track – good news for a British horse this afternoon?
