[RBA Meeting Minutes Preview: Expected to Signal at Least One More Rate Hike] The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will release the minutes of its February policy meeting on Tuesday. The market expects the document to reinforce the expectation that policymakers will need to raise interest rates at least once more to curb inflation. Since the February rate hike, key officials' comments have highlighted that inflation is too high and will continue under the current policy environment. The key issue is the direction of inflation, not its level—the RBA's annual inflation target is 2.5%, while actual data continues to deviate from this target. Any comments about excessive public sector demand are likely to make headlines.
