📢 Cash Rate Update – November 2024

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has announced the Official Cash Rate (OCR) will remain at 4.35%, aligning with its statement earlier this year that rates would likely hold steady until at least the end of 2024.

While the latest quarterly Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed the lowest increase since March 2021, the RBA still aims for inflation to settle within its target range of 2-3%. For those unfamiliar, a lower CPI indicates that prices for goods and services are rising more slowly or potentially even decreasing – which signals a slowdown in inflation.

Looking ahead, the four big banks forecast that if disinflation continues, we could see a cash rate cut in early 2025. Will it happen? Stay tuned for our next update on 10 December.
