100 basis points RBA cut

Big Interest Cuts

Hi all,

RB went 100 basis points, far greater than the market was expecting.

This might help to explain what happened to the $Aus in the last 24 hours.

Any comments on what this means in the short term (1-3 months).

Personally I think it is an admission by the RB that they were wrong and things are pretty bad out there.

panic: RBA cut rate 1% to 6%

I am not sure it is wise to surprise the markets that much. :eek:
I am sure now there will be a good relief for homeowner
 
Awesome. Excellent news for the property market, share markets, and people's jobs!

Im sure the cash rate will go lower as well in coming months.

Maybe property prices may not even fall and may go up in the medium term. Once this eventually flows through in whole or in part it will make a big difference to afforability.
 
Doesn't this mean they believe the economy is going to more of hell in a handbasket than the analysts had believed?

(yes happy though!)

Yes, that is the scary thing.

The reactions on here show that their big strike may help things though.
 
Hi,

I agree, probably half or maybe a bit more. The size of the cut was to allow everybody to win.

Luckily the RBA had plenty of room to move.
