RBA Recap

• The RBA held the cash rate at 4.35% in November due to persistent underlying inflation, then trimmed it by 25 basis points to 4.10% in February—reflecting a careful balance between easing cost pressures and guarding against inflation risks.
• Although disinflation trends are emerging, persistent pressures, particularly in the services sector and strong labour market conditions, continue to complicate the outlook.
• With uncertainties from tight financial conditions, potential global shocks, and sticky input costs, the RBA signals a gradual, measured approach to further policy easing, emphasising that any additional rate cuts will depend on sustained, positive data trends.
