Economists don't expect the Official Cash Rate to be cut today, but they do expect it to be cut this year.

It's remained unchanged at 5.5% since May last year, up from a record low 0.25% in August 2021.

He said that by that point, there’s been three quarters worth of data surrounding inflation, wages, and unemployment, so a cut is more likely.
