The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has today decided to keep the cash rate unchanged at 4.35%, giving borrowers some welcome stability while it assesses how recent rate increases are flowing through the economy.

Inflation has shown some encouraging signs of easing, with annual headline inflation falling to 3.8% in June 2026, down from 4.0% in May 2026. However, underlying inflation remains higher than the RBA would like, with trimmed mean inflation holding at 3.6%.

With the temporary fuel excise reduction ending in early August 2026, petrol prices are expected to lift as the full excise is reinstated. This could add some upward pressure to headline inflation in the coming months and will be another factor for the RBA to monitor.

What could this mean for you?
Even when rates stay unchanged, your home loan doesn’t have to. It could be a good time to review your current rate, repayments and loan structure to make sure they still suit you.

We had another fantastic session with Year 10 Commerce at St Edward’s College last week. We discussed tax, investments and elements of their upcoming assessment. It was terrific to see the students really engaged with their learning.

Are you self-employed, running your own business, or working as a tradie on an ABN?

One of the biggest misconceptions we see is business owners assuming they won't qualify for a home loan because their income isn't as straightforward as a PAYG employee's.

The reality is that different lenders assess self-employed income very differently.

We're hosting a free online webinar with one of our lender partners to discuss:

✔ What lenders actually mean by "self-employed"

✔ Common challenges business owners face when applying for finance

✔ Lending options available for tradies, contractors and business owners

✔ Practical tips to improve your borrowing position

If you're thinking about buying, refinancing, investing or simply want to understand your options, we'd love you to join us.

At its meeting today, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has held the cash rate at 4.35%.

Today's decision reflects the RBA's cautious approach as it continues to assess inflation, economic growth and the impact of previous interest rate changes.

While inflation remains above the RBA's target range, higher interest rates continue to weigh on household spending and broader economic activity. There also remains uncertainty around property prices following last month's proposed taxation changes.

In a changing economic environment, staying informed about interest rate movements and how they may affect your financial position is important.

Whether you're planning ahead or simply want to explore your options, we're here to help.

At its meeting today, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has increased the cash rate by 0.25%, with the official cash rate now sitting at 4.35%.
Today’s decision reinforces the RBA’s ongoing priority to bring inflation back within its 2–3% target range. The decision was supported by data released last week which showed inflation has continued to increase, largely due to global conflict-driven supply issues and higher fuel costs.
The data highlighted:
• Headline inflation has risen to 4.6% for the 12 months to March 2026, up from 3.7% in February 2026.
• Underlying (trimmed mean) inflation sits at 3.3%.
Fuel price inflation can take time to unwind, meaning price pressures may remain elevated even if broader economic conditions begin to stabilise. As the RBA navigates this more complex environment, staying informed about interest rate movements and what they mean for your financial position is increasingly important.
Whether you’re considering purchasing a home, refinancing to review your loan structure, or exploring investment opportunities, now is a timely opportunity to review your current lending arrangements and future plans.
