Australia\u2019s jobs market remains tight, with full-time employment at historic highs. Strong wage growth \u2014 especially if it stays above 4% \u2014 could force the RBA\u2019s hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Others say no:<\/strong><br \/>Most major banks (CBA, Westpac, NAB, ANZ) still expect the next move will be a cut \u2014 but not before mid-to-late 2026. They argue spending is softening and the RBA risks triggering a deeper slowdown if it squeezes households harder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s new?<\/strong><br \/>The RBA\u2019s July meeting minutes suggest the board is cautious.

Even a small shock \u2014 like a surprise wage spike or government stimulus \u2014 could tilt the RBA back towards more hikes.
