Markets are pricing more and more for delays in rate cuts. NAB’S Ken Crompton says even with pricing for cuts of 13bp in February that still shows some “irrational exuberance”. The expectations for delays in rate cuts follow Christopher Wallers comments earlier in the week that, with the economy seemingly in good health, why the rush? That view was supported by a range of positive data releases, including retail sales growth continuing into December. In the uK markets were a little surprised by a rebound in UK inflation, delaying chances of cuts by the BoE. In Australia NAB has revised its expectation for a rate rise by the RBA, but there’s a chance that it will stick with its current rate to the tail end of the year.
