CBA hikes rates on specufestors again

Advertisement

I’m losing track of how much tightening we’ve seen from the CBA in the past two months but there’s more today with fixed rates on interest-only loans rising by 25 basis points, specufestor loans up 25 basis points, and specufestor interest only up 25-50 basis points.

The changes appear to be for new fixed loans only so is directed at front book slowing not back book re-pricing.
