RBA published the minutes of its August monetary policy today. It has reiterated that it is “unlikely that the cash rate target would be cut in the short term.” The minutes also stated that “not possible to either rule in or rule out” further interest rate changes. The central bank mentioned that an immediate hike is possible only if inflation increases materially.
It also suggested that keeping the cash rate steady “for an extended period” is good to drag the inflation down to target within a reasonable time frame.
