Recently the tone of the pathway for the RBA cash rate has had a significant change with inflation proving stubborn, NAB has now changed the forecast looking for rate hikes in February and May.

The 3rd February RBA board announcement is now considered well and truly live with the combined forecasts predicting a 40% chance there will be a rate increase.

What does the mean for interest rates moving forward and how can NAB Markets support our Business Bank Clients in managing this risk? 

Our guest speakers discuss these key themes, general economic conditions and the NAB AUD/USD forecast:
