Latest News About RBA rate cuts delayed until 2027 as inflation holds

Economists now predict zero Reserve Bank of Australia rate cuts until 2027, despite a slight 0.4 per cent fall in Melbourne Institute's inflation gauge in June.

The central bank encounters renewed pressure to increase rates further this year as inflation remains above target.

Australia's dollar slid toward 0.6900 as the yield curve tilted, prompting market concern.

The forecasts are based on analysis by the Australian Financial Review, Nine.com.au, and News.com.au, with several economists cautioning that excessive inflation will prevent the RBA from cutting rates in the near term, intensifying worries about growth.
