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.
