The RBA have left rates on hold for a second month. In summary:
...the European threat has moderated; the local economy is running close to trend; their inflation forecasts are within the 2-3% target band; and borrowers’ interest rates are close to medium term averages
However
...the door is still open for an easing, if the economy weakens materially (or there is a meltdown in Europe).
We are often ask by clients is now a good time to fix their mortgage rate? With rates with the majors are around 6%, which is less than the discounted variable rates, it might not be a bad time. But remember, fixing a rate is a two way bet with a bank and how often do you think they lose? What fixing a rate will do is give you certainty around payments for a period of time. This is the thing that should drive the decision of whether to fix, or stay variable, not trying to beat the bank.
