Rising Jobless Rate Puts RBA Rate Cut Back on the Table

Australia’s jobless rate climbed to 4.5% in September, marking its highest level since 2021. While employment rose by 14,900, unemployment increased by 34,000, reflecting more people entering the labour market.

This data has sparked renewed debate over whether the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will cut interest rates at its next meeting on 4 November. Economists now see a higher probability of a rate cut, although inflation and CPI figures due later this month could complicate the outlook.

For homeowners and prospective borrowers, this could signal opportunities to refinance, reduce repayments, or secure a better rate before any changes occur.
