Two respondents in the Aug 30-Sept 1 poll expected a 25 basis point (bps) hike.
Among major local banks, ANZ, CBA, and Westpac expected rates to remain unchanged until at least end-2023, while NAB predicted one more rate hike to 4.35% in November.
Three economists expected two more 25 bps hikes in the fourth quarter.
While BlackRock and Deutsche Bank expected hikes in November and December, Citi expected moves in October and November.
"We think they'll maintain the tightening bias and there may be further risk of a rate hike later in the year," said Benjamin Picton, senior strategist at Rabobank.
