Interest rates on hold—again!

I think the story of 2024 might be… ‘RBA interest rates on hold again & again & again with the potential for rate cuts towards the end of the year’ – Maybe.

The interest rate tide has turned

The good news is that the RBA should keep interest rates on hold next Tuesday at 4.35% and for the foreseeable future. 

There is always a long lag effect for interest rates to properly take effect through the economy. However after 13 RBA rate hikes I think interest rates have finally bitten—the tide has turned.

Interest rate rise on the day of the horses

It looks like a 0.25% Melbourne Cup rate rise is on the way. This will take official interest rates to 4.35%.

Bordez’s economic commentary brings you up-to-date with insights to the local and global dynamics and drivers at play in Australia’s contemporary economy.
