Many economists, including from the Big Four banks, have predicted a number of cash rate cuts this year. This includes this Tuesday. What does this mean for you?
For another meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) held the cash rate steady at 4.35%. The last time the RBA changed the cash rate was an increase in November 2023.
The RBA has just announced the September cash rate and has again maintained the 1.0% official cash rate. This was following last month’s decision to hold at 1.0% in order to allow time to observe economic trends before resorting to further cuts.
The RBA has made its August cash rate announcement and left rates on hold at its record low of 1.0%, following two consecutive cuts in the preceding months that totalled fifty basis points.
