The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised interest rates! The first major central bank to implement a reverse operation this year has arrived.
A gunshot has been heard from the Southern Hemisphere! 🇦🇺
Today, the Reserve Bank of Australia announced an interest rate hike, becoming the first major developed country central bank to do so in 2026.
Why the sudden rate hike? The statement makes it very clear: inflation is back with a vengeance! Especially in the service sector and housing costs, which have surged, and the labor market is tight, leading to "private demand growth surging much more than expected." In other words, the economy is somewhat overheating, and prices cannot be contained.

They even directly raised their forecasts for inflation, growth, and employment for this year, with core inflation expected to struggle to return to the ideal range by the end of 2027. This attitude is quite clear: inflation is more worrisome than growth, so they took action first.
What does this signal mean for the market?
1️⃣ The expectation of a global interest rate cut may need to be reassessed, especially if inflation persists in other central banks.
2️⃣ The Australian dollar may strengthen in the short term, but pressure on the stock and bond markets will increase.
3️⃣ For assets sensitive to global liquidity, like cryptocurrencies, the lack of synchronization in major central bank monetary policies may exacerbate volatility. One rate hike, but what about the others? The market will have to guess.

In short, the monetary policy in 2026 has taken an unexpected turn right from the start, reminding us: inflation is truly not a linear decline.
Central banks can pause, but the battle may not be over.
