Why the RBA Meeting Minutes Matter – And What They Mean for the Aussie Dollar

We’ve just had the RBA meeting minutes released, and there’s a lot to unpack. I won’t dive too deep here — that’s what the full webinar at 4–5 PM Sydney time is for (link in the Telegram, completely free). But here’s what I’m seeing right now.

The meeting minutes are crucial because they reveal what’s really discussed behind closed doors — not just the polished version we get in rate statements or press conferences. If someone on the board is arguing to keep rates higher for another few months, that’s a clear hawkish signal, and it’s written down. These details help us see where policy might go next.

Here are my top 3 takeaways:

The RBA is still very data-dependent. They’re flexible — open to cuts, hikes, or a pause — but they’re leaning toward incremental moves over aggressive action. That means they’ll act, but cautiously.

Global headwinds are a major concern. Australia is closely tied to China, and if trade tensions (especially involving the US) ramp up, Australia will feel it. That’s already happening in small ways, and the RBA is watching it carefully.

Future rate cuts are likely — if inflation continues to fall and international uncertainty worsens. That’s a bearish signal for the Australian dollar, especially with other economies like the US and UK offering higher yields.

Right after the release, we don’t see much movement — it’s a long document, and the market needs time to digest. But we’re already seeing AUD weakness in pairs like EUR/AUD, GBP/AUD, and others.

So if you’re trading the Aussie or just want a clearer picture of what’s driving the local economy, don’t miss today’s live session from 4–5 PM Sydney time. It’s free, packed with insights, and super actionable.
