[RBA May Raise Interest Rates in February] Economists at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia predict that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) may raise interest rates in February next year as constrained production capacity pushes up inflationary pressures. Belinda Allen, head of the bank's Australian economics department, noted in a client report that this move aims to rebalance the economy and push inflation back to the target range. However, she also emphasized that a significant rate hike cycle is not expected; the central bank may only make "fine-tuning" adjustments, and predicts that interest rates will remain around 3.85% until the end of 2026.
