RBA Stevens speech recap: Still some scope to ease after last CPI

Governor of the RBA, Glenn Stevens, is giving his annual speech to The Anika Foundation Luncheon in Sydney, and some explosive comments are now crossing the wires. The topic of the speech is current issues in economic policy. According to RBA's Stevens, long rise in mining investment is now over, saying that coming fall could be "quite big". Stevens said that easing is working to shift investors to taking some more risk, adding that shift in risk taking not yet a serious impediment to further policy easing. Stevens remained dovish on his tone, saying that "still has some scope to ease after inflation data." On the Aussie value, Stevens wouldn't be surprised if it falls further, as "the fall makes economic sense."

On the fiscal policy, Stevens said it is broadly appropriate that in line with consolidation mode. Talking about chances of recovery, Stevens said it is reasonable to expect a pick up in consumption, but not past boom levels, adding that for a successful rotation there is a need for more demand for non-resource exports. Stevens thinks global demand for Australian resources will stay high for a long time. Lastly, he said that there needs to be more confidence among businesses. UPDATE: Stevens also added that RBA policy working differently from before, rates could be lower as spending falls. Stevens, through the Q&A, also said that "swings in AUD unlikely to derail inflation outlook" - very dovish -, adding that "not concerned that we are running out of ammunition." The market is now pricing a 25 bp RBA rate cut on August 6 at 85%. -FXstreet.com
