Why Mortgage Rate matters for AUD
Mortgage rates affect household borrowing costs and therefore consumer spending and the housing market. High mortgage rates cool the housing sector, reducing wealth effects and consumer confidence, which in turn affects economic growth.
How to interpret this series
Rapidly rising mortgage rates can suppress housing activity and broader growth, eventually forcing the Reserve Bank of Australia to ease policy. Falling mortgage rates signal looser conditions and can boost economic activity.
