Macrobusiness Chief Economist Leith van Onselen has discussed why he thinks the prospect of the RBA hiking interest rates again is not a “slam dunk”.
“While last week's May CPI indicator was obviously not good news, and it was a shocker. the Reserve Bank minutes that were released today also noted they are concerned the Labor markets are weakening quicker than they expected,” Mr Van Onselen said.
“Given the RBA has a dual mandate on price stability and full employment its concerns around the Labor market will reduce the likelihood of rate hikes.”
