What the RBA announces, and when
- 2:30 pm Sydney time: the decision on the cash rate target is published on the second day of the meeting.
- 3:30 pm: the Governor holds a media conference.
- Four times a year (February, May, August and November) the decision is released with the Statement on Monetary Policy and its forecasts.
Australia’s CPI and Labour Force figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics are the main releases before each meeting. See them all on the economic calendar, or this week’s schedule on the forex week ahead.
What a RBA decision moves
Rate decisions are among the biggest scheduled events for the AUD. The pairs that usually react most are AUD/USD, AUD/JPY and AUD/NZD. Spreads often widen in the minutes around the announcement and price can move fast in both directions, so many traders check the time in their own zone in advance and decide whether to hold positions through it.
To see the decision on your chart, switch on economic events in TradingView’s chart settings (our TradingView economic calendar guide shows how). To compare how the AUD is moving against the other majors, use the currency strength meter.
