Predicted for 29. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The RBA faces a genuinely live decision on September 29, 2026: Australian CPI stands at 3.5% YoY (trimmed mean: 3.6%) — well above the 2–3% target band. NAB forecasts a hike to 4.60%; CBA and Westpac vote for hold. Around 44% of economists surveyed by Finder.com expect at least one more hike before year-end. The majority view (56%) is hold; we follow consensus but flag elevated uncertainty. The RBA is likely to await further disinflation evidence before acting.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end.
