  • Macquarie Group Faces Rate Uncertainty and AirFinance Sale Impact on Risk Profile
    February 1, 2026, 1:21 AM EST. Macquarie Group (ASX:MQG) encounters increased risk profile uncertainty amid the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) impending interest rate decision and the ongoing sale of its aircraft leasing platform, Macquarie AirFinance.

Market watchers are advised to consider diverse perspectives amid evolving macro and corporate dynamics impacting the financial giant's outlook.
