The RBA minutes yesterday were more hawkish than expected. NAB\u2019s Rodrigo Catril talks about how the central bank is aiming for the mid-point of their 2 \u2013 3 percent target range, rather than the top, raising the prospect of rates staying higher, or a more concerted effort to bring inflation down faster. This adds to the speculation that interest rates will be lifted in February, although a lot will depend, of course, on Q4 CPI, out late in January. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan did and said little and Canada\u2019s core inflation bounced back up a little. A reminder to all that it isn\u2019t beaten yet.
