NAB forecasts RBA’s rate cut due to worse business conditions

Australia’s business conditions and confidence worsened in the previous months on the background of shady long-germ economic outlooks in the country, notes NAB in its report.

Members of the company say that there is growth of long-term risks which can force the RBA to cut rates twice this year. These moves can influence unemployment and level a negative impact from weak trading and construction.

Negative long-term outlooks forced the RBA to revise bank’s projection to cut rate. The RBA thought that business activity was stable, looking at fundamental background, and that shifting to the services sector was in a progress.

Business conditions fell in July by 3 bp to 8. Business confidence fell in July by 1 bp to 4.
