The Reserve Bank of Australia decided to once again leave the official cash rate unchanged at 1.5% with the last rate move back in August 2016.
With a combination of job growth slowing from last year’s frenetic pace and stagnant wage growth, the Reserve Bank have signalled that we can expect to see rates remain where they are for now. Many however still expect the next rate move to be an increase with signs of improvement in the economy in the shape of strong internal trade results and improving GDP numbers.
