The RBA Interest Rate Decision reading for Australia came in at 4.85, exactly matching the market forecast of 4.85. The figure was published at 03:30 GMT on 3 November 2026.
Comparison with the previous period
Against the previous period, the reading of 4.85 is higher than the 4.6 recorded before it. The interest rate decision is the level at which the central bank sets its benchmark rate, so the reading shows where that rate stood when the decision was published, and a higher number means the benchmark rate is set higher than it was before.
The reference period for this reading was not provided by the calendar feed, so the figure cannot be tied to a specific month or quarter.
