AUS 10Y Yield Rises After RBA Decision

2025-09-30 05:42 By Kyrie Dichosa 1 min. read

Australia’s 10-year government bond yield rose to around 4.35%, following the Reserve Bank’s policy decision.

The RBA kept its cash rate steady at 3.60% as expected, while reiterating its data-dependent approach.

Persistent inflation risks—underscored by August’s print, the highest since July 2024—and Q2 GDP growth, the fastest since September 2023, gave the bank room to keep policy focused on curbing price pressures.

The RBA also pointed to signs of recovering private demand and warned that inflation could remain sticky, even after cutting rates by 75 bps this year.

This broadly aligns with Governor Michelle Bullock’s recent cautious stance, as she noted that the global environment remains highly uncertain, though monetary policy is well placed to respond if international developments materially affect Australia’s economy.

AUS 10Y Yield Retreats from 2-Week High
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield fell below 4.9%, retreating from an over two-week high as risk-off sentiment intensified amid escalating geopolitical tensions and softer expectations for domestic policy tightening. A recent run of softer economic data prompted investors to rule out another rate hike at the Reserve Bank’s upcoming policy decision next week, as three rate hikes earlier this year began to filter through the economy. Economists have also scaled back bets for an August move and now see rates peaking at 4.35%. Still, Governor Michele Bullock reiterated last week that the central bank remains firmly focused on bringing inflation back to target. The upcoming May CPI print on June 24 would provide clear evidence of pass-through to higher prices after a weaker April reading. Meanwhile, hostilities in the Middle East dragged on as the US launched fresh strikes on Iran, casting doubt on a lasting peace deal, which would extend the closure of the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

Australia 10-Year Yield Edges Higher
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield edged higher around 4.9%, after falling from a two-week high, as investors weighed policy signals ahead of the RBA meeting next week, while renewed Middle East tensions stoked inflation concerns. The conflict intensified after the US launched fresh strikes on Iran, with President Trump accusing Tehran of downing a helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz, casting doubt on an already fragile ceasefire. The escalation drove energy prices higher, fueling inflation concerns and increasing the risk of further central bank rate hikes. In Australia, attention will be on the Reserve Bank's upcoming policy decision next week, where rates are widely expected to remain unchanged. Governor Bullock reiterated last week that the RBA remains firmly focused on bringing inflation down, following three rate hikes earlier this year. Meanwhile, economists have scaled back expectations for an August move and now see the cash rate peaking at 4.35% at year-end.
