The Reserve Bank is keeping its finger on the pulse of inflation and economic momentum, even as it holds steady on rates — with some board members pushing for a preemptive hike if global tensions or AI-driven growth push prices higher.

Tight financial conditions and a slowing housing market add complexity to their balancing act. Next month’s July inflation data will be key before September’s meeting, but November could still hold the next rate move — especially if risks materialize. Meanwhile, personal insolvencies surged 13.1% in the June quarter, the biggest jump in six years, underscoring rising household stress amid monetary tightening.
