  • RBA Board meeting surprised markets due to the changed tone of the RBA statement, indicating the RBA Board was growing more confident inflation is moving back towards the central bank's target. Markets now see an increased chance the RBA will cut interest rates sooner,

The article from Market Index discusses the potential for the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to cut interest rates in 2025. It highlights that despite the RBA's current stance of maintaining rates to manage inflation, economic indicators suggest a possible shift. Analysts predict that if inflation continues to moderate, the RBA might start reducing rates from mid-2025, with expectations of up to three 25 basis points cuts by the end of the year. This anticipation is based on forecasts of inflation returning to the target band of 2-3% and a slowing economy, which could necessitate lower rates to stimulate growth. However, the exact timing and extent of these cuts remain uncertain, influenced by global economic conditions, domestic economic performance, and the RBA's ongoing assessment of inflation and employment data.
