BNY’s Bob Savage highlights that the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its cash rate unchanged at 4.35% but maintained a clear tightening bias. The Australian central bank emphasized that further rate hikes remain possible if inflation pressures persist. This stance keeps policy expectations skewed toward additional tightening rather than cuts in the near term.
