Don’t despair, Australian mortgage holders – another rate cut is a question of when, not if | Reserve Bank of Australia

Don’t despair, Australia’s mortgage holders: We didn’t get a ratio deduction on Tuesday, but they still come.

The Board of Reserve Bank showed that it did not give a fig about the popular view and that it kept its cash rate target at the July meeting of 3.85%.

For those who pay attention, almost every economist was a great surprise, and the financial markets priced it as an agreement.

It was reportedly reported that the decision caused, and Aussies could have forgiven to plan what to do with extra cash when interest payments fell.

We don’t know what he voted for-RBA Governor Michele Bullock refused to say at a press conference after the meeting.

But in three weeks, Bullock was happy to mark the question of when the rate cuts were not, but when the rate cuts were not.

“Perspective difference was not the direction of interest rates, but a matter of timing”.

If this is not clear enough: “The direction has fallen, but cautious.”

“I am really aware that we have to fight inflation. We want to make sure we are nailed.”

Considering the claim that inflation can suddenly take back again, where inflation is and going, the weak start of the year for the economy and soft home expenditures for the economy, the date of use is too much.
