ING remarks after the wages knowledge from Australia earlier:
- Australia knowledge – Wage Worth Index for Q3 2024: +0.8% q/q (anticipated +0.9%, prior +0.8%)
- Australia – “Wage inflation is moderating as anticipated”
ING says that year-on-year wage development slowing to three.5% is a step in the proper path for the Reserve Financial institution of Australia (RBA) to contemplate fee cuts.
Nevertheless, ING notes this deceleration alone isn’t sufficient for the RBA to rule out any upside dangers to rates of interest.
Regardless of the softer knowledge, ING believes a case for a near-term fee minimize stays weak, predicting the earliest potential easing from the RBA might come within the first quarter of 2025.

I think even Q1 is simply too early. The RBA subsequent meet on December 9 – 10, the place on maintain is anticipated.
