Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Michele Bullock is due to address a press conference and respond to media questions as part of a new reporting format for the central bank that started this year.
The RBA maintained the benchmark interest rate at 4.35% for the ninth straight meeting earlier this Tuesday. The central bank, however, softened its hawkish tone, hinting at a dovish pivot early next year.
