There's finally some relief for Australian homeowners, as the RBA lowers interest rates for the first time since 2020.
It held the cash rate at 4.3 percent for more than a year as post-pandemic inflation slowly cooled - but it slashed the OCR by 25 basis points to 4.1 percent.
HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham says inflation is coming down, but it's still nowhere near low enough.
