The Property Couch RBA Cash Rate August 2022: Inching Closer to a Neutral Cash Rate
As we welcome in a new financial year, we welcome another not-so-surprising change…
The Reserve Bank of Australia has once again lifted the cash rate by 50 basis points, bringing the official rate to 1.85%. This marks the most aggressive rate rise in a 3-month period since 1994 (If you’re wondering, back then the RBA lifted the cash rate by 200 basis points)
Tune in as Ben breaks down what this hike means in the big picture and unpack these key themes:
- Is the world’s biggest economy in a recession already?
- The manufactured economic slowdown is now in full swing with another rate rise this month
- Unemployment surprises in the upside beating all forecasts for July
