Recent inflation data showed Australia’s rate falling to 2.8% in Q3, mostly due to government subsidies on electricity and rent. While this may suggest inflation is under control, underlying inflation is still high at 3.5%, driven by service costs like healthcare and housing. The RBA focuses on this core figure, as subsidies create a temporary illusion of relief, rather than a true reduction in cost pressures.

This creates a "cost of living" paradox: headline inflation may dip, but essential expenses stay high, impacting real purchasing power. As the holiday season approaches, consumer spending could heavily influence inflation trends, with the chance of a February rate cut currently sitting around 50%.

This Movember, The Brokerage team is joining the movement to tackle the issue of men’s health. Men are dying too young, often from preventable causes. Globally, we lose one man to su***de every minute. More than 2 out of every 3 deaths by su***de are male, and prostate cancer diagnoses continue to rise, with over 1.4 million men affected annually.

This Movember, we’re growing mos to spark conversations and raise awareness for men’s health. Some of our team are also taking on the 60km Move challenge to honour the 60 men lost to su***de every hour.

As discussions around interest rates heated up, it seemed the hope for cuts this year was diminishing. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) maintained the cash rate at 4.35% during its recent meeting, with many major banks pushing their forecasts for any potential cuts further into 2024.

🔑Key Insights:
• CBA is the only major bank predicting a rate cut this year, now pushed to December.

• ANZ and Westpac anticipate the first cuts in February 2024, while NAB suggests a cautious approach, likely seeing reductions in the first half of the year.

• Strong employment data may influence the RBA’s decisions, adding complexity to the rate outlook.

👤Impact on You: Discover additional strategies to save on your home loan beyond just the RBA's cash rate cuts. Reach out to us to find out more.
