We asked our readers What do you think the Reserve Bank should, rather than will, do with the Official Cash Rate at 9am on Thursday?.
They responded:
1. Cut it to 2.75%. This economy needs a boost. Inflation is not a problem. Our currency needs to drop too. Give those currency traders a fright. 45% (124 votes)
2. Leave it on hold at 3%. The retail sector is stalled. Indebted households are squeezed. No one can afford a rate hike. 32% (87 votes)
3. Hike it to 3.25%. Business confidence is rebounding. Inflation is building both overseas and here. Housing is stirring again. Act early. 23% (64 votes)
