澳大利亚固定按揭利率上升,因为通货膨胀率达到3.8%,终止了降低利率的希望。 Australian fixed mortgage rates rise as inflation hits 3.8%, ending hopes for rate cuts.

澳大利亚借款人面临较高的固定利率抵押贷款,因为通货膨胀在10月上升到3.8%,抑制了进一步削减利率的希望,促使包括Westpac和Macquarie银行在内的18个贷款人提高11月1日以来的利率。 Australian borrowers face higher fixed-rate mortgages as inflation rose to 3.8% in October, dampening hopes for further rate cuts and prompting 18 lenders, including Westpac and Macquarie Bank, to raise rates since November 1. 不到5%的固定利率贷款数量在一个月内从46个下降到36个,这表明市场正在紧缩。 The number of fixed-rate loans below 5% dropped from 46 to 36 in one month, signaling a tightening market. 专家们说,低固定利率的窗口可能已经关闭,如果通货膨胀率居高不下,可能还会进一步增加,尽管有些专家告诫说,数据是早期的,需要季节性调整。 Experts say the window for low fixed rates has likely closed, with further increases possible if inflation remains high, though some caution the data is early and subject to seasonal adjustments.
