The Reserve Bank could raise interest rates again on Tuesday, after lifting rates in February and March.

Financial markets imply there is about a two-thirds chance of a third hike, after soaring fuel prices pushed inflation to its highest rate since 2023.

For someone with an average-sized new mortgage of $736,000, paying a typical rate of 5.7%, a rate increase would add about $117 to their $4,272 monthly repayments.

Whether or not the RBA raises rates on Tuesday, two hikes are expected by December, leaving 2026 with a total of four interest rate increases.
