Australia's central bank raised interest rates to a 18-year high of 4.85%, per Reuters. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) governor Michele Bullock confirmed the move during a press conference in Sydney.

A split vote among board members suggests the bank may pause future rate hikes, according to Bloomberg reports. The decision comes amid ongoing concerns over inflation and economic stability.
