When RBA governor Philip Lowe began talking about a ‘turning point’ it was dismissed as cheerleading, but he may be right.

Stubbornly low inflation has left the door open for the RBA to cut interest rates again in coming months.

A bond buying program by the Reserve Bank in 2020 would pack some punch, and is likely to be much smaller than expected.

The RBA has warned of the growing risk to growth posed by a deeper slowdown in the global economy.

The RBA is set to push monetary policy to its outer limits with more rate cuts and probable quantitative easing.

At a speech in regional NSW, RBA governor Philip Lowe said the bank can no longer ignore the global rates downshift.
