Australia mortgage shock: CBA and Macquarie lift fixed home loan rates ahead of RBA decision

Australia mortgage shock: CBA and Macquarie lift fixed home loan rates ahead of RBA decision

Commonwealth Bank of Australia has increased fixed home loan rates by up to 0.70 percentage points, with its lowest owner-occupier fixed rate now at 5.79% for a two-year term. Macquarie Bank followed suit, hiking fixed rates across all terms. Meanwhile, National Australia Bank offers the lowest headline fixed rate among the big four banks at 5.39% for both one- and two-year terms, according to Canstar comparisons. This repricing comes mere weeks ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s first monetary policy meeting of the year, with borrowers and markets eyeing any changes to the “cash rate”—the key benchmark that influences banks’ funding costs and variable mortgage rates. The RBA’s policy board is set to convene on Feb. 2–3.

CBA hikes fixed mortgage rates as analysts warn Commonwealth Bank shares face a tougher 2026

CBA hikes fixed mortgage rates as analysts warn Commonwealth Bank shares face a tougher 2026

Commonwealth Bank of Australia raised fixed home-loan rates by as much as 70 basis points on Thursday — remember, a basis point equals 0.01% — sending some three-year owner-occupier rates up to 6.19%. The hike comes as lenders prepare for more increases in official rates. CBA’s cheapest two-year fixed rate for package borrowers now stands at 5.79%, edging above similar deals from Westpac and ANZ. Investors will keep an eye on quarterly inflation figures due Jan. 28 before the Reserve Bank of Australia meets on Feb. 2-3. CBA shares stood at A$153.50, gaining 0.4% on the day but still down roughly 4.8% year-to-date following a sluggish January start. On Wednesday, the stock closed at A$152.88, swinging between a high of A$154.99 and a low of A$150.88 during the session, data showed.

BHP shares hit a fresh 52-week high — can it knock CBA off the ASX throne?

BHP Group shares climbed 2.9% to A$49.53 by late morning, narrowing the gap with Commonwealth Bank for the title of Australia’s most valuable listed company. The miner’s market cap hit roughly A$244.35 billion on Jan. 14, according to StockAnalysis.com data. BHP remains behind CBA, which held a market cap near A$255.62 billion as of Jan. 14—about A$11 billion ahead. Market capitalisation is just share price times shares outstanding, and these giants often flip rankings on small daily shifts.
