Westpac的首席经济学家Luci Ellis预测,2026年澳大利亚储备银行将再削减两次利率,可能使现金利率从目前的3.85%降至2.85%。 Westpac's chief economist, Luci Ellis, predicts two additional interest rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia in 2026, potentially reducing the cash rate to 2.85% from the current 3.85%. 这样可以节省平均按揭持有人每月350美元左右的费用。 This could save average mortgage holders around $350 a month. 如果通货膨胀和劳动力市场条件进一步削弱,削减可能提前发生。 The cuts may occur earlier if inflation and labor market conditions weaken further. 预测的依据是经济恢复速度放慢和通货膨胀预期降低。 The forecast is based on a slower economic recovery and lower inflation expectations.
