Australia RBA watcher Terry McCrann - "Four RBA interest rate cuts? Don’t be so sure"

McCrann piece begins by referring to JP Morgan yesterday forecasts four Reserve Bank of Australia rate cuts to come

JP Morgan forecast the RBA to cut rates 4 times by mid 2020

Mc Crann is not convinced on the 4 cuts call:

  • The absolutely basic thing to understand is that next week's cut is the only cut the RBA has locked in.
  • it might broadly think it probably will deliver a second cut

McCrann says the election result was a fundamental 'game-changer'

  • Now we are not going to get the hit on negative gearing.
  • We are not going to get the hit on franking refunds.
  • We are not going to get the tax hit on capital gains
  • All those have suddenly become 'negative positives' to the economy.

Plus

  • we have a series of 'positive positives'.
  • These include APRA's easing of the borrowing rules
  • mortgage deposit help from Canberra for first-home buyers
  • Then add the RBA - and bank - rate cut.
  • This all adds up to one huge - even 'uge - boost.

McCrann makes a series of good points IMO.
