CommSec economist Savanth Sebastian also said weak retail numbers could push the central bank to consider a rate cut on Tuesday.
"All the data today really paves the way for the Reserve Bank to cut rates," he said.
"There seems to be a lack of strength in retail - consumers remain conservative, and if anything, trading conditions continue to remain tough despite previous rate cuts."
