    dc:description="Friday&#8217;s Reuters poll has 12 of 18 financial market economists expecting a 25 bps tightening, with the balance looking for steady rates.  March inter&#45;bank futures are giving only a 49% chance to a 25 bp tightening, while iPredict is pricing a 67% chance of a rate hike.  I suspect interbank futures are closer to the mark.

I will be talking on Australian monetary policy on Bloomberg TV Tuesday morning AEDT."
