Markets price in RBA cash rate rise from 4.35% to 4.60%, with peak near 4.8% by early 2027
Australian money markets have repriced toward additional RBA tightening, with a November hike fully priced and non-trivial odds for September and a follow-up in early 2027, lifting the expected peak cash rate near 4.8%. Mixed demand signals (weak non-fuel spending) temper urgency, but renewed hawkish rhetoric and sticky inflation keep front-end rates and AUD sensitivity elevated, tightening financial conditions for households and risk assets.
