Description
The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised rates, bringing the cash rate to the highest it’s been since 2011.
And even though this latest hike doesn’t come as a surprise, the sting will still be felt by borrowers throughout the country.

And how likely is a fifth rate hike before the end of the year?
Carrington Clarke and ABC News Business Editor Michael Janda break it all down on ABC Business Daily.
