Why
Economists expect the Reserve Bank will keep the official cash rate on hold at 4.35 per cent when it meets on Tuesday, considering the impact of consecutive hikes, mixed data on inflation and the labour market, and economic uncertainty in the Middle East.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
Homeowners in Australia may experience a temporary pause in interest rate increases, but the broader economic outlook is influenced by persistent inflation and geopolitical factors, particularly from the Middle East, meaning future hikes are still likely.
