Rate Movement Since RBA Cuts

The RBA cut rates in November 2024 and February 2025, reducing the cash rate from 4.35% to 4.10%. Variable rate lenders passed on both cuts in full. Fixed rates have moved more modestly — lenders price fixed rates based on swap market expectations, which already anticipated the cuts.
