The countrys already existing inflation problem has been further exacerbated by soaring energy prices triggered by the Middle East conflict. Economists expect the RBA to raise interest rates on Tuesday, increasing the cash rate to 4.1%, in response to the potential for rising oil prices to push up inflation. The money market sees a 75% probability of a March rate hike and anticipates further tightening. Bank of America economist Nick Steiner stated, "The Iranian conflict poses a significant upside risk to inflation, and we expect overall inflation to approach 5%." Australias inflation target is 2-3%. Steiner pointed out that given the current price pressures and tight labor market, the central bank has "virtually no room for maneuver." A failure to raise rates in March "could lead to more drastic tightening later, as high inflation would persist longer and affect public expectations."

If a country's released inflation data keeps surpassing the central bank's target, the central bank will influence the local currency according to its own inflation target by raising or lowering interest rates.


Usually, the central bank will raise interest rates to reduce the amount of money in circulation and curb inflation. If the central bank wishes to increase the amount of money in circulation, it may do so by lowering interest rates. Generally, as the difference between a high-interest currency with a low-interest currency widens, hot money will tend to flow into the high-interest money market, driving the demand for money higher. This is one of the reasons for the rise in medium-term and long-term exchange rates, and investors may capture these opportunities to
