Home loan interest rate changes for April 2017
Lenders are still moving interest rates despite the RBA making no change to the official cash rate.
The RBA's inaction was predicted by almost all experts and economists with no change in the finder.com.au RBA survey. Lenders, on the other hand, are still moving interest rates irrespective of what the RBA does. This trend started in November and December last year and continued even before the first RBA meeting in February this year. It doesn't seem to be stopping.
