RBA Expected to Raise Rates 25bp on May 5; Fed's Williams Signals Further Rate Delays Amid Energy Risks

GateNews

According to BlockBeats, Australia's central bank is expected to raise rates by 25 basis points on May 5, with major institutions including Goldman Sachs, Westpac, and Citi predicting further hikes ahead as energy and labor market pressures persist. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Williams signaled no immediate case for rate increases but indicated rate cuts will be delayed due to higher-than-expected inflation this year, keeping borrowing costs elevated longer. The U.S. Treasury raised its Q2 borrowing estimate to $189 billion, adding pressure on market liquidity. Separately, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including U.S.-Iran confrontations near the Strait of Hormuz, are raising concerns about energy supply chain stability and global shipping costs.
