Join host Annie Kane and senior journalist Charlie Tchetchenian as they review the biggest news of the week across mortgages and finance broking. They break down the rationale behind the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) move to increase the cash rate to 4.85 per cent, the industry’s reaction to it, and why the central bank is less optimistic for the economy in the years ahead.
They also examine the fastest national home price decline in 40 years, the marked shift in proprietary lending at the major banks, and how agentic AI is transforming broker productivity at Lendi Group.
This week, they discuss:
- Why the RBA pushed the cash rate to 4.85 per cent.
- What the RBA, the market, and economists expect will happen next.
- Why Westpac and NAB are pushing further into proprietary lending.
And much more!
