Australia's 10-year government bond yield rose to around 4.73%, nearing a two-year high, driven by hawkish signals from the Reserve Bank. The central bank maintained its cash rate but hinted at potential rate hikes in 2026 if inflation persists. Economists predict at least one rate increase next year, with a 30% chance in February and 80% in May. Weak productivity and potential inflation pressures could lead to higher borrowing costs.
