The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to lift interest rates by another quarter of a percentage point at this week's meeting, following a surge in inflation caused by the war in Iran. If it does, it would mean three rate rises, back-to-back, so far this year. All of Australia’s big banks are betting on another hike, as the RBA tries to tame high inflation.
