JUST IN: Australia has raised interest rates to 4.85%, the highest level in 18 years. The Reserve Bank of Australia is fighting persistent inflation, with rising energy costs and the growing expense of AI investment adding to price pressures. What's particularly interesting is that the AI boom is now becoming part of the inflation conversation. Higher investment in technology is creating demand across infrastructure, computing and energy, while rising energy prices are adding further pressure. For markets, this is another reminder that central banks aren't out of the woods yet. Higher rates mean tighter financial conditions, and that can weigh on liquidity and risk assets like Bitcoin. The question is whether other central banks start facing similar inflation pressures, or whether Australia remains an outlier.
