The minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s monetary policy board meeting for July shows that it expects a further decline in underlying inflation by the end of 2025, which will justify more interest rate cuts. The board noted that the focus of the July meeting was on the timing and extent of further monetary policy easing. The minutes also show that factors such as the monthly inflation data and the resilience of the labour market contributed to the board’s decision to leave the cash rate unchanged in July, despite widespread expectations of a 25 basis point cut.
