The futures pricing for a rate cut in June fell from around 38% to 20% after the employment report.
It was only yesterday that Westpac came out with a call for a follow-up rate cut in June. This data environment is so volatile (especially the employment data,
- we’ve had +50,100 in April,
- -36,000 in March and
- +74,000 in February!) ,
I’d hate to be an economist having to make such calls now.
