what happened

TD Securities changed its rate call after Australia's latest CPI report and now expects the Reserve Bank of Australia to raise rates next week, Market Talk reports.

Analyst Prashant Newnaha says a firmer third-quarter inflation outcome supports the central bank's tightening decision from last month. He also sees likely upgrades to price growth forecasts strengthening the case for another hike in November.

why it matters

Newnaha expects that a move to 4.85% next week would probably mark the end of the tightening cycle. For markets, the path of rate expectations remains the key driver for the Australian dollar and local bond yields.
