Australian Dollar: RBA tailwind seen fading – Commerzbank

Commerzbank’s Volkmar Baur argues that market expectations for 1.5 further Reserve Bank of Australia hikes look excessive after softer August CPI data. While inflation remains above target, he highlights lagged effects of past tightening and weakness in the real estate sector. Baur concludes the RBA is likely to wait, leaving the Australian Dollar unlikely to gain additional support.
