The RBA has held interest rates steady at 4.35% today.
After three rate hikes earlier this year, this pause may feel like a breather, but the message remains: inflation is still too high, and the job isn’t done yet.
A few key takeaways:
• Inflation remains above target
• The economy is starting to slow
• Previous rate rises are still working through
• The RBA has left the door open to further increases if needed
So, while there’s no movement today, financial conditions are still tight, and uncertainty remains.
From a planning perspective, this reinforces a simple point: It’s less about predicting the next rate move, and more about being prepared for a range of outcomes.
For many, that means focusing on structure, cashflow, and flexibility, rather than short-term forecasts.
