The Reserve Bank of Australia has increased the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.6%, marking a 15-year high and the fourth interest rate rise this year. Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock cited global oil prices, the AI boom and persistent inflation as factors, while noting domestic spending and investment have been stronger than expected. The rate increase adds $119 per month to the average Australian mortgage of $731,000, with mortgage holders facing nearly $6,000 in additional annual costs from this year's cumulative rises.
