- MNI - Bank of Japan board members were split over whether to raise the policy rate at the September 18-19 meeting, with some calling for more data and others pushing for an increase, the summary of opinions released Tuesday showed.

Sep-30 02:29
Ahead of today’s RBA policy decision, RBA-dated OIS pricing is sharply firmer across 2026 meetings versus last Wednesday’s CPI levels.
- The headline August CPI print was 3.0%y/y, against a 2.9% market consensus and 2.8% July outcome. The trimmed mean was 2.6% y/y, after printing 2.7% in July.
- The Q3 CPI print is out on Oct 29, with the RBA outcome on Nov 4.
- A 25bp rate cut today is given a 3% probability, with a cumulative 17bps of easing priced by year-end.
