Global markets face a key, 24-hour test of their optimism that central bankers are all set to pivot away from aggressive tightening toward a much easier path. Kicking off Tuesday afternoon, the Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to hold policy and snap a streak of 10 straight interest-rate hikes. A day later we get the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s meeting — it’s expected to slow its pace of increases to a quarter point — and half an hour after that RBA Governor Philip Lowe will give a speech to Australia’s National Press Club.
