According to CoinMeta, ANZ Bank noted that although there are signs indicating that the Australian economy is slowing down, expectations for further interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) have cooled. However, the central bank still faces persistent inflation issues. ANZ Bank economist Siddhant Kalra stated that the average annual inflation rate at the end of the third quarter reached a strong 3.7%, and the annual inflation rate for market services recorded the strongest increase since 2024. Given the link between market service inflation and domestic capacity pressures, this strong result will likely make the RBA cautious in the coming months.
