The Reserve Bank of Australia kept interest rates unchanged as scheduled, and the market expects the easing cycle to be over

The Reserve Bank of Australia failed to deliver an early Christmas "gift" to mortgage holders by leaving interest rates unchanged at its final meeting of the year. In a widely expected unanimous decision on Tuesday, the Monetary Policy Committee kept the cash rate at 3.6 per cent. A pick-up in inflation in the second half of 2025 dashed hopes for further rate cuts after the Reserve Bank of Australia had cut rates by 75 basis points since February. Interest rate markets and most economists now believe the RBA's easing cycle is over. Some analysts have pointed out that if inflationary pressures continue to rise, the central bank may be forced to raise interest rates in February next year. Domain chief economist Nicola Powell said the turnaround in interest rate expectations could help ease the pressure on housing market prices that have risen rapidly over the past year.
