Deloitte breaks ranks, tipping rate cut in August 2026

Deloitte Access Economics expects no interest rate hikes in 2026 and is instead forecasting a rate cut in August. The firm believes Australia’s economic recovery remains fragile and that the late-2025 inflation uptick is temporary, partly driven by the end of power bill subsidies. The outlook comes ahead of key unemployment and inflation data and the RBA’s February rate decision, with the cash rate currently at 3.6%. #InterestRates #RBADecision #RateCut #AustraliaEconomy #InflationAustralia #CashRate #MonetaryPolicy #RBA #EconomicOutlook #RatePause #CostOfLiving #UnemploymentData #ABSData #InflationData #HousingMarket #MortgageRates #PowerBills #FiscalPolicy #AussieEconomy #FinanceNews World News with in-depth analysis – trusted & transparent!
