RBA rate call hangs on CPI: Big banks split as Australia inflation data looms

Australia’s interest-rate outlook narrowed sharply Tuesday, after Commonwealth Bank signaled underlying inflation could come in hotter than expected. The update revived the possibility of a rate hike from the Reserve Bank of Australia as soon as February.

Markets have swung sharply between “hold” and “hike” bets, with tiny shifts in inflation numbers tipping the scales.
