Australian shares trade in narrow range as investors focus on RBA
June 17 (Reuters) -Australian shares drifted in a narrow range on Monday as market participants exercised caution ahead of a central bank policy decision due later this week.
The S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO fell about 0.2% in early trade before recovering to trade almost flat. It was 0.01% higher at 7,725.20 as of 0043 GMT, after closing 0.3% lower on Friday.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is expected to hold its key policy rate for a fifth consecutive meeting on Tuesday over persistent price pressures, according to all economists polled by Reuters.
Futures imply a 63% probability the central bank will ease rates by December, as at the end of last week. 0#RBAWATCH
