RBA to Keep Rates Unchanged at 3.60% Again

Updated Sunday, April 30, 2023

EVENT ENDED

The Reserve Bank of Australia sounded dovish on their rate statement in the last meeting. They were expected to cut interest rates to 1.25% in May, but they didn't, although they cut rates in June. They did so again in July and this wasn't unexpected. They sounded increasingly dovish and also commented that they will likely follow the FED with the monetary policy. The FED delivered a rate cut in July and two more in September and October. But they haled rate cuts for now, while RBA's Lowe said last week that the effect of rate cuts from the RBA are starting to have an effect in the economy, implying that they are also done with cuts for now. They turned quite hawkish like all other central banks but have stalled rate hikes at 3.60% recently andare expected to keep them there this month too.
