The Reserve Bank has decided to keep the cash rate on hold at its highest level in over a decade. Getting inflation back to the target range has proven a difficult balancing act. Another rate hike might tip the economy into a recession. Many borrowers are in the hurt locker, with repayments on a $750,000 loan now $1,940 more than they were at the start of May 2022. Higher rates might be around for longer than first hoped. In the meantime, shopping around and negotiating a better deal is crucial to helping minimise the pain. https://lnkd.in/g6rBAebK

Everyone's eyes are on the economy this week. Unemployment and mortgage stress are on the rise, and we know that behind every statistic is a family facing a massive financial and emotional burden. If early indications are accurate, and the consumer price index shows persistent price pressures, this could spell out the Reserve Bank's next move. Compare the Market Australia's expert team has been working with our Economic Director David Koch to work out what these factors mean for Australian households. While inflation remains an issue, I think there are enough indicators to suggest that the RBA will err on the side of caution and hold in August. If the RBA does decide to put through a 0.25% hike, this would increase monthly repayments on the average mortgage by $102, which in this environment is material.
