Markets lift odds of an RBA rate hike next Tuesday to 88%, with economists warning more tightening may follow
AI Market Summary
Markets have repriced the probability of an RBA rate hike next week to 88% amid sticky inflation and oil-driven cost pressures from Middle East tensions. Commentary suggests risk of additional tightening into September/November and even larger-than-usual increments if inflation expectations de-anchor. Higher expected policy rates typically tighten domestic financial conditions and reprice Australia rates/FX volatility, with spillover to rate-sensitive equities and household consumption expectations.

Market pricing for a Reserve Bank of Australia rate hike next Tuesday has risen from 72% at the start of the month to 88% as inflation stays high and the Middle East conflict keeps oil and fuel prices elevated. Some economists say the RBA could raise rates again in September and November, potentially delivering back-to-back moves to curb persistent inflation. They also say the central bank could even consider a larger one-off increase of 40 or 50 basis points.
