Trader sentiment on Polymarket heavily favors a Reserve Bank of Australia rate increase to 4.6% at the March 18 meeting, with 78.5% implied probability, driven by persistent inflation pressures and a resilient labor market. Headline CPI eased to 2.8% in Q4 2024, but underlying trimmed mean held at 3.2%—above the 2-3% target—while unemployment ticked up slightly to 4.1% amid robust job gains exceeding 50,000 in December. The RBA's February hold with hawkish forward guidance signaled readiness to tighten if needed, contrasting global easing cycles. No-change odds at 20% reflect some bet on data softening, but negligible decrease probability underscores bullish economic momentum positioning hike as consensus.
