# TD Securities Analysts Discuss RBA's Rate Hike Decision

On May 5, TD Securities strategists commented on the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points with an 8-1 vote. According to Jin10, while this decision might appear hawkish, TD Securities strategists suggest that the overall statement indicates a potential pause in rate hikes. The bank noted that the RBA seems to have moderated its previously hawkish stance on inflation, with Chair Block's post-meeting remarks leaning more dovish. Strategists Prashant Newnaha and Alex Loo believe that following the RBA's significant GDP forecast downgrade, future inflation data will be crucial in determining the timing of the next rate hike. The bank considers a June rate hike unlikely, with August being a more probable window. Consequently, the institution currently expects the cash rate to peak at 4.60% in August.
