flag Australia’s central bank may raise rates in 2026 due to persistent inflation, risking higher mortgage costs.

flag Australia’s central bank may raise interest rates in 2026, with economists and major banks predicting at least two hikes, possibly starting as early as February, due to inflation rising to 3.8% in October. flag Despite three rate cuts in 2025, persistent price pressures in housing, services, and labor markets have prompted concern, with core inflation at 3.3%. flag The Reserve Bank of Australia’s governor signaled possible tightening if inflation remains elevated, shifting market expectations. flag Higher rates could increase mortgage costs, especially for variable-rate borrowers, and deepen financial stress, while home prices are projected to hit new highs.
