Polymarket traders assign a 61% implied probability to a Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate increase at the May meeting, reflecting sticky inflation and a resilient labor market that have heightened hike risks despite cooling headline figures. March quarter consumer price index rose 3.6% year-over-year, but underlying trimmed mean inflation held at 4%—well above the 2-3% target—while April employment surged 65,100 jobs, keeping unemployment steady at 4%. RBA communications, including recent chart packs, underscore data-dependent vigilance against upside inflation risks, with cash rate steady at 4.35% since November. No-change odds stand at 34.5%, cuts near zero at 0.9%; watch the May 7 decision for policy pivot.
