The Reserve Bank of Australia September monetary policy meeting minutes are due at 0130GMT on Tuesday 18 September 2018

Will the release move the Australian dollar? Mmmm, probably not too much TBH

I posted a preview earlier here, a good run down from DB

A little more now, this via:

RBC:

  • Following yet another steady rate decision, the minutes will likely cover a number of familiar themes - a return to above trend growth, full employment and eventually lift higher in core inflation.
  • Key domestic data released since the 4 September Board Meeting have been consistent with this positive narrative with a strong Q2 GDP print and healthy August labour force report.
  • Comments from the board dinner that evening may be elaborated upon in the minutes with the RBA likely to highlight that it is watching a number of global uncertainties (trade, US inflation, EM), the moderating housing market, and noting some uncertainty around the degree of slack in the labour market.

TD:

  • Look out for discussion about Westpac's SVR hike and whether the next move remains up for the cash rate. The policy statement repeated "Some lenders have increased mortgage rates by small amounts .. the average mortgage rate paid is lower than a year ago". T
  • hey were right that the economy grew at an above-trend pace in H1 although they did not have that data for the meeting.
