The Reserve Bank of Australia pulled another shock move, hiking the official cash rate by 50 basis points and catching experts off guard.

At the RBA’s June meeting this afternoon, the Board decided to lift the official cash rate to 0.85 per cent, returning it to its highest level since September 2019 and marking the first back-to-back rate rise in 12 years.

If you are worried about how this might affect your loan repayments, please call me on 0413437389 and I'll guide you through these uncertain times

At its monthly meeting today, the Reserve Bank has decided to increase the official cash rate from 0.10% to 0.35%.
An increase in rates has been highly anticipated following the release of higher than expected inflation figures last week.
There was however speculation that the RBA may have delayed this increase until after the federal election and until it was satisfied there was evidence of sustainable wages growth.
Lenders can set rates independently of RBA movements and their responses to this rate hike may vary.
I deal with multiple lenders every day, so I know just how flexible they can be to keep or win your business.
It never hurts to ask the question, so get in touch to review your options.
