Upside for Metcash's Hardware Business Could Be Limited -- Market Talk

0227 GMT - Upside for Metcash's hardware business looks more limited by reduced expectations for Australian interest-rate cuts, according to Macquarie analysts. They tell clients in a note that demand at the supermarket supplier's hardware business, which includes the Total Tools retail chain, could be constrained by rates policy. They observe that hotter-than-expected inflation has implications for local interest rates, which economists had previously expected to fall further. Macquarie still sees hardware as the key source of earnings and valuation upside. The bank cuts its target price by 12.5% to A$3.50 and keeps a neutral rating on the stock, which is flat at A$3.36.
