Shane Oliver explains the economic signals that could keep rates on hold, and the risks that could change the outlook. What the latest increase means for mortgage repayments, and the options available to borrowers under pressure. The savings-rate opportunity savers may want to watch closely as banks respond to the RBA decision. Why markets rose despite higher interest rates, and what investors are being told to prepare for next.
