The Reserve Bank of Australia is widely expected to raise the cash rate to 4.6%, which would take borrowing costs to their highest level since 2011. The anticipated hike is drawing attention from homeowners and economists concerned about mortgage repayments and inflation, with debate focused on how much further the bank will go to bring prices under control.

Why now: A rate hike to a 15-year high would directly affect Australian mortgages and the broader economy, making the central bank decision a live topic.
