RBA Interest Rate Decision
Australia · next release date not yet on the live calendar
No verified figures for this release right now — the consensus forecast and previous reading appear here whenever this event is on the current week's live calendar. We do not show placeholder numbers.
What it is
The Reserve Bank of Australia's Monetary Policy Board sets the cash rate target, the RBA's target for the interest rate on unsecured overnight loans between banks, which feeds through to other Australian borrowing costs. The decision is published with a statement from the Monetary Policy Board on the policy outlook, followed by a press conference with the Governor.
Why it matters to traders
The cash rate and its outlook are among the most important domestic drivers of the Australian dollar, alongside global risk sentiment and commodity prices. Markets trade not just the decision but the tone of the statement and the Governor's press conference: a decision that matches expectations can still move the Australian dollar if the guidance points to a different path for future meetings than markets had priced.
