RBA raises cash rate to 4.85% in 6-3 vote
क्या हुआ
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) today (3 Nov 2026, 9 AM IST) raised the cash rate by 25 basis points (0.25%) to 4.85%, up from 4.60%.
• A majority decision: 6 members voted to raise the rate and 3 voted to hold it at 4.60%.
• The RBA says inflation is elevated and broadly based, driven by higher fuel prices from the Middle East conflict and domestic pressures.
• Updated staff forecasts see inflation staying elevated through much of 2027 and reaching the top of the 2–3% target range only in late 2027.
• The RBA's 4 PM (AEDT) reference rate put AUD/USD at 0.6976.
इसका मतलब
A rate hike is usually seen as supportive for a currency, but the real effect depends on how much the market already expected and on the RBA's tone going forward. The split 6-3 vote shows the Board is not unanimous, so future decisions will depend on the data. On days like this, wider spreads and sharp moves both ways (whipsaw) in AUD pairs are common, so set your risk first. How rate decisions move currencies is explained simply in today's new lesson. This is not a buy/sell signal.
