The surveys show that domestic inflation expectations are on the rise, prompting financial markets to reprice monetary policy outcomes. Market participants have adjusted their positions as persistent price pressures challenge previous expectations of a pause. The policy decision is scheduled for next week, when the central bank will announce its official rate setting. Further details on the magnitude of the expected move were not outlined in the latest survey data.
