Editorial:

MICHAEL WORKMAN, SENIOR ECONOMIST, COMMONWEALTH BANK:

"It's really clear we're all attending to the expansion figures toward the end of the month. There was no forward direction once more. So now, it would appear that its all down to the scope of the feature and basic expansion rates. Regardless we see another cut as almost certainly one month from now, as a result of low expansion."

SHANE OLIVER, AMP CAPITAL INVESTORS CHIEF ECONOMIST

"I believe they're ... attending to the effect of Brexit and the effect of the muddled race result. Whilst you could say that despite everything they have an unbiased inclination as far as strategy, they have kind of left the entryway open a bit by saying they're sitting tight for additional data before doing anything."

"My perspective is that they will ease (rates) in August, and that will be in light of another low expansion read that we get toward the end of this current month for the June quarter and given the danger to the development viewpoint from the chaotic race result and Brexit. Be that as it may, at this stage, they're still especially in keep a watch out mode."

BEN JARMAN, ECONOMIST, JP MORGAN

"I figure the attention today was on what they (the RBA) were going to say. They have been quite hesitant to give forward-looking direction or remark.

"We got something more unequivocal today, an affirmation that they will continue bolstering in data on job and development.

"The following regular signpost is the expansion information toward the end of this current month, so markets are tied down around a rate cut in August, and we believe that won't the last one either. It will rely on upon where the information will arrive, yet comprehensively our perspective is that the money rate will be lower and I think direction today lets us know that will be the situation.

MARKET REACTION:

The Australian dollar AUD=D4 solidified somewhat to $0.7521 on the choice. Interbank fates <0#YIB:> demonstrated speculators were all the while valuing in a facilitating to 1.5 percent in the following couple of months.

Foundation:

- The RBA cut rates back in May after information demonstrated a shock log jam in center swelling to only 1.5 pct in Q1, That was under the RBA's long haul target band of 2 to 3 pct, successfully pushing genuine rates higher and making strategy less accommodative.

- Figures on expansion for the second quarter are expected later in July and experts suspect another low perusing could incite a further cut at the August approach meeting.

- Political instability contended for the RBA to keep its powder dry for the time being. Vote numbering keeps taking after weekend races, leaving Australia without a legislature, while scars from Britain's choice to leave the European Union are still new.

- With further facilitating seen likely in Europe and Japan and enormously decreased prospects of a fixing in the United States, the RBA will be under weight to cut - if just to constrain any gratefulness in the neighborhood dollar.
