RBA raises Australian interest rates

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) lifted the official cash interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.10% on Tuesday. The announcement, which was forecast by many economists, came at the end of the traditional two-day bi-monthly meeting of RBA’s Monetary Policy Board. The chances of an increase to 4.1% had been rated at 58% by the Australian Securities Exchange’s RBA rate tracker on Monday.
