This inflation impulse is in addition to the effect of capacity pressures in the economy.”The board said its focus is wrangling high inflation.“To achieve this, growth in aggregate demand needs to remain subdued for a period to reduce capacity pressures and bring inflation back to target,” it said.“The three increases in the cash rate target since the beginning of the year have tightened financial conditions and the economy appears to be slowing. “But inflation is still too high and the Board judged that, in light of recent developments, a further tightening in financial conditions is warranted to support a return of inflation to target in a reasonable period.”Australians with variable mortgages will now be waiting on a message from their lender informing them that their loan service costs are going up.Be the first to know: Add 7NEWS as your preferred news source on GoogleMacquarie Bank was quick to move, announcing within minutes of the RBA’s decision that it was passing on the hike to customers.“With the RBA confirming another rate rise, we’re letting our customers know we’ll be lifting our variable home loan rates, as well as the variable rates available on our transaction and savings accounts,” the bank’s head of personal banking Ben Perham said.“For any customers concerned about making their home loan repayments, we encourage them to get in touch, as financial assistance may be available.” The board’s fourth increase of 2026 — which was unanimous — takes the cash rate above the 2023 hikes to the highest setting since November 2011 (4.50 per cent).It comes after fresh data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed household spending was unchanged in August, while spending on recreation, clothing, footwear, food and furniture had fallen.Fuel spending soared 8.1 per cent in August. Excluding fuel spending, total household spending would have fallen by 0.3 per cent. - More to come . . .Chalmers grilled on spending ahead of expected rate rise3 min readFederal budget billions of dollars better than forecast2 min read","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"economic","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
