Bullock fails to clear the market’s high bar on further rate rises (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Reserve Bank of Australia lifted the cash rate to 4.6 per cent, its fourth increase this year and the highest setting since 2011, piling more pressure on struggling borrowers. That was a formality.
