Will this be the last rate hike?

Episode Description

The Reserve Bank has lifted rates, and if you’ve got a mortgage, you’ll feel it fast. 

A typical borrower on a $600,000 loan is up around $90 a month for a single hike, and if more follow, the hit multiplies. 

Is inflation really back, or is the Bank overreacting? And what would more hikes do to jobs and house prices?
