What it measures

The Reserve Bank of Australia sets its cash-rate target, influencing borrowing costs across the Australian economy. A rate above market expectations is generally hawkish; traders also assess the accompanying statement and any change in the Bank's guidance.

Why it moves the AUD

The decision is a major Australian dollar driver because it directly changes the expected return on Australian assets and the path of borrowing costs. The surprise relative to expectations matters more than whether the rate simply rises or falls.
