Interest Rate Update – October 2015

Cash Rate – No Change

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has just announced it will maintain the official cash rate at 2.00%.

The RBA remains comfortable to provide a period of stability, to allow business and consumers some certainty over the coming months particularly following the recent change of political leadership. The financial markets are currently pricing in the next change in the cash rate for December with a 0.25% reduction. Unless there is significant untoward domestic and global economic data it is our view the RBA will hold the cash rate at 2.00% for some time.
