Wednesday 2nd June 2021The RBA didn’t steer from its earlier stance that it was too soon to be looking at any changes in policy right now. Those who were expecting a more hawkish attitude will have been disappointed. The real surprise yesterday was the strength of the GDP partials in Australia, in particular a record current account surplus. NAB’s Rodrigo Catril says that will translate to a higher GDP number today. Elsewhere, Europe posted final PMIs for May, which have been revised upwards, and the US reported a high ISM manufacturing read. Hardly surprising then, that oil is on the rise, with Brent hitting pre-pandemic levels. But with India still in trouble, Iran ready to up their production, and uncertainty over lockdowns the world over, isn’t $71 oil a little premature?
