Are We Heading Towards Another Rate Hike? | Mark Bouris & Stephen Koukou

In this episode of Property Insights, Mark Bouris sits down with economist Stephen Koukoulas to unpack what’s really happening across the Australian economy and what it could mean for interest rates, inflation, households, businesses and the property market.

With the RBA facing a difficult decision when they meet on September 29, the big question is whether Australia could be heading towards another rate hike.

Mark and Stephen break down the latest economic signals, including inflation, interest rates, bond yields, global markets and the uneven state of the Australian economy. They also debate whether the RBA could move sooner rather than later, and what upcoming inflation data could mean for its next decision.
