RBA loses a little patience

b'Wednesday 4th May 2022On today\\u2019s podcast NAB\\u2019s Ivan Colhoun talks through the RBA\\u2019s higher-than-expected rate hike yesterday. Taylor Nugent adds that it was clearly more than expected, given the rise in front-end bond yields after the meeting, buoyed on by more hawkish rhetoric from the RBA\\u2019s Governor Lowe after the meeting. Next it\\u2019s the FOMC, early tomorrow morning, with a 50 basis point rise still anticipated. The JOLTs numbers indicated the labour market is still very tight and the challenge will be to restrain wage inflation. Job numbers and wages data tonight and Friday might add fuel to the fire. This morning, lots of focus on wage inflation in New Zealand, with employment data out and a press conference from the RBNZ.
