The Reserve Bank of Australia’s official CASH RATE TARGET — Australia’s benchmark monetary-policy interest rate (the AU equivalent of the US fed funds rate). PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “what is the RBA cash rate”, “Australian interest rate”, “has the RBA cut rates”. Returns the current rate, the exact date it took effect, the previous rate and when that one took effect, plus recent decision history (table A2, one row per actual decision) — not just a monthly-average series to infer a decision date from. Also returns the F1.1 monthly-average history as before.
