Australia is set to raise rates – strategies to consider
RBA Rate Hikes: What to Expect
Following a 25 basis point increase in February, it is anticipated that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will implement another 25 basis point rise in May. After these adjustments, the three-month bills rate is expected to stabilize within the 4.25% to 4.5% range. This level is roughly in line with the current two-year rate of 4.25% and just slightly under the three-year rate, which stands at 4.3%.
On the other hand, the ten-year rate is hovering around 4.9%. This suggests that the market is factoring in the possibility of the three-month bills rate surpassing 4.5% over a five-year horizon. Although we foresee a period of rate increases followed by a pause, our outlook remains relatively positive regarding the broader economic environment.
