The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has announced a hold on the cash rate of 3.60% at today’s meeting.
This outcome reflects the RBA’s cautious and measured approach in balancing inflation control with employment objectives. The latest data indicates:
- Inflation: Headline consumer price index (CPI) rose to 3.2% in September 2025 (up from 2.1 per cent in the June 2025 quarter).
- Employment: Unemployment edged up to 4.5% in September 2025, signalling a slightly softer labour market.
Holding the cash rate steady provides the RBA with time to assess how economic conditions evolve and whether further adjustments are needed to maintain stability.
