What to expect from the RBA meeting in November 2024

Will the RBA deliver a rate that stops the nation this November? While economists from some of Australia’s leading banks had previously predicted a cut this month, most are now looking to the new year for the start of an easing cycle.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) uses the national cash rate as a tool to help tackle inflation, with the central bank’s goal to bring inflation back down into a target band of between 2% and 3%.
