RBA Tightening Expected on Tuesday

Financial market economists are unanimous in expecting a 25 bp tightening from the RBA at Tuesday’s Board meeting, according to a Reuters poll taken today.  February inter-bank futures are giving a 69% probability to a 25 bp tightening, while iPredict has an implied probability of 87%.  Markets seem to be underpricing a tightening relative to the punditocracy, perhaps reflecting the same concerns driving weakness in equity markets.
