According to Sina Finance, ANZ said in a statement that it has raised its interest-rate forecast for the Reserve Bank of Australia and added one more rate-hike expectation. ANZ now expects the RBA to raise rates by 25 basis points in September and again in November, lifting the cash rate to 4.85%, the highest level since 2008. The bank still expects the first rate cut to come in November 2027, followed by another 25-basis-point cut in February 2028. ANZ economists Adam Boyton and Jack Chambers said they expect the RBA Board to keep a slow and cautious pace when it eventually cuts rates, given the rapid rebound in inflation after the previous easing cycle ended.

Perpetual shares fell after the company rejected EQT Group's latest takeover offer. According to Sina Finance, the Sydney-based investment firm said the final best offer was not in shareholders' interests. The company said on Monday that the offer of A$22.50 per share, plus a potential dividend of up to A$0.60, undervalued Perpetual. The A$22.50-per-share bid valued Perpetual at about A$2.8 billion in July. In early trading on Monday, Perpetual shares fell as much as 15%, their biggest one-day drop since November 2022. Citi analyst Thomas Strong wrote in a note that EQT's description of the bid as final and best means it will not make another offer for at least several months. He said the stock should move toward intrinsic value over the long term, with Citi's base valuation at A$18.40, although the market will still price in the possibility of another bidder.
