The Reserve Bank of Australia has increased the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.35% at its May meeting.
The decision reflects renewed inflation pressures, driven by higher fuel and commodity prices linked to ongoing Middle East conflict, alongside persistent domestic capacity constraints. The RBA noted that inflation is now expected to remain above target for longer, with risks still skewed to the upside.
While financial conditions have tightened, credit remains available. The Board emphasised it will continue to closely monitor global developments, inflation trends, and economic activity, and stands ready to act further if required to bring inflation back to target.
Lenders' pricing and policies will continue to shift in this changing environment, so please reach out to us in order to help you compare options across the market. Now may be a good time to discuss offset accounts, redraw facilities or contingency planning to help you stay resilient during these times.
If you have any questions on how the rate cut might affect your home loan, please do not hesitate to get in contact.
