The Reserve Bank of Australia statement is due at 0330 GMT.

Earlier previews:

  • RBA monetary policy meeting Tuesday, 4 October 2022 - Barclays forecast a 25bp rate hike
  • How the RBA could shape the tone of today's policy statement? - TD
  • RBA monetary policy meeting on Tuesday, 4 October 2022 - preview
  • RBA meeting Tuesday October 4, 50bp cash rate hike widely expected, then more by year end
  • RBA policy meeting next week - Morgan Stanley forecast a 50bp cash rate hike

This from an Australian economist makes a lot of sense:

rba 40bp 04 October 2022

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Lowe has flagged a slowing in the pace of hikes, although he didn't canvass a 'when' time for this. As Hogan argues in his tweet, today could be a small step in that slowing direction.
