Geelong Real Estate: Whitford Property News – 31st October 2024

Whitord – Geelong Property News: Inflation has sunk to a three-and-a-half year low of 2.8%, though mortgage holders anticipating imminent interest rate cuts will likely be left hanging by the Reserve Bank. Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) September data showed inflation was officially back within the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) 2-3% target range, after a small rise of 0.2% in the quarter. It is the lowest annual inflation rate since the March 2021 quarter, adding the 0.2% rise is the lowest outcome since the June 2020 quarter fall which occurred during the COVID-19 outbreak, driven by free childcare. 

While inflation had moderated substantially, it will unlikely pave the way for a much-desired rate cut. Trimmed mean inflation – an alternative measure which discounts certain major prices changes – came in at 3.5% in September. This is the RBA’s preferred measure of the state-of-play, and despite falling for the seventh consecutive quarter, it remains outside the bank’s target. Commonwealth Bank has changed it’s forecast of a rate cut from December to February now with all of the big four banks predicting a 0.25% rate reduction in February. Bring on February I say!
