The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised interest rates in a closely contested decision, citing inflationary pressures — becoming the first central bank to tighten monetary policy since the outbreak of the Iran conflict. The move comes as a series of major central bank meetings is set to take place this week. The decision underscores the mounting economic ripple effects of the Middle East conflict on global monetary policy.
