RBA Seen Cutting Three More Times by Early 2026, Matching Market

Economists expect Australia’s central bank will deliver three more interest-rate cuts by early 2026, up from two seen previously, bringing their outlook into line with money market pricing.

The Reserve Bank will take its cash rate to 3.1% in the first quarter of 2026, from 3.85% now, and then pause for a prolonged period, according to the median estimate of 40 economists in a Bloomberg survey released Wednesday.
