Two more RBA rate cuts on the way, economists say

Most economists are still expecting the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut interest rates next month, followed by one more in 2026, despite recent concerns that inflation is starting to heat up.

The Australian Financial Review’s latest quarterly survey of economists found that 23 out of 39 respondents still expect the cash rate to fall by a quarter of a percentage point to 3.35 per cent at the RBA’s next policy meeting on November 4.
