Polymarket traders, wagering real capital, price a 52% implied probability of a Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate hike at the May 7 meeting, edging out no change at 42%, amid sticky inflation and a resilient labor market. Headline CPI eased to 3.6% year-over-year in Q1—below forecasts—but trimmed mean inflation held at 3.8%, exceeding the 2-3% target and prompting hawkish RBA commentary. Unemployment remains low at 3.9% with robust April jobs growth (+65k), reinforcing trader consensus for tightening to curb demand pressures. A rate cut (3.6%) appears remote given the Board's data-dependent stance and no imminent recession signals, though global Fed pauses add uncertainty to forward odds.
