The key events that weighed on the market pricing this week were:
- RBA’s Bullock mentioning that they did discuss a 50 bps cut. That saw the market increasing the rate cut bets for the RBA from 54 bps to 68 bps by year-end.
- Canadian Core inflation data surprising to the upside. That caused the market to price out immediately a rate cut in June that was expected before the CPI release.
- Hot UK CPI data. The market took a less dovish view and favoured just one rate cut in 2025.
