What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Christopher Kent, Assistant Governor for Financial Markets, spoke at the Commonwealth Bank Global Markets Conference in Sydney. He stated that there is reasonable evidence that neutral interest rates are rising both in Australia and internationally. Kent noted that the Middle East conflict is influencing global growth expectations despite rising interest rates across the world.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Kent explained that rising neutral rates suggest interest rates will need to remain higher than previously thought if the Reserve Bank of Australia aims to reduce inflation. The cash rate is currently 4.6 per cent, and markets do not anticipate rates falling below current levels until at least mid-2028.
