The Flow Show - Tuesday 11th August 2026 - RBA holds with a hawkish tilt
The RBA kept rates on hold but made sure everyone knows hikes are still a possibility. It was more an exercise in keeping up the rhetoric than explicitly saying a hike is coming.

Oil is looking perky as the market dislikes the tit for tat bun fight about compensation from both the US and Iran. All of that lessens hopes for a deal, so round and round we go.

Otherwise, the market is waiting for the US inflation data and we look at what will happen to the buck over that data.
