RBA: Rate cuts are likely forthcoming – Standard Chartered

We maintain our view of a 25bps rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia at the 18 February meeting. A tight labour market presents downside risk to our view of 100bps of RBA rate cuts in 2025. Swaps are pricing c.22bps of RBA cuts in February, which should limit AUD weakness due to the cuts.
