Australia’s Surprise Rate Hike Breaks the Disinflation Script

Australia’s central bank has reversed course. The Reserve Bank of Australia raised its cash rate target by 25 basis points to 3.85 percent, its first increase in more than two years, after inflation picked up again and domestic demand proved stronger than expected.
