Will rates rise again on Melbourne Cup Day?
The RBA's next decision is on Tuesday 3 November, with the cash rate currently at 4.60%. The ABS September-quarter inflation figures, due on 28 October, are a key input.
Ahead of the data, the big four banks are split. CBA and NAB expect rates to stay on hold in November, while Westpac and ANZ have a rate rise as their base case.
Whatever happens, now is a sensible time for home owners, buyers and investors to review their budgets with their lender or broker. For local property advice, call HS Partners on (02) 9643 5888 or visit www.hspartners.com.au.
