Cash Rate Cut to 2.25%

This morning the Reserve Bank updated us with their view of interest rates and the economy which resulted in a cut to the Official Cash Rate to 2.25%. A change in the OCR results in movements in our home loan floating interest rates. As such all of the banks are likely to reduce their floating or variable rates today. Of course for existing customers this reduction will be future dated so the banks can squeeze a few more days on a higher rate out of their customers.
