The Reserve Bank has decided yet again to leave official interest rates steady over June. Rates have now been on hold since August last year when they were cut to the record low 1.5 per cent.

Concerns are now growing over the emergence of a longer-term, low-growth economy.
Signs are emerging of an easing in housing market activity with auction clearance rates in Melbourne and Sydney fading over May although conditions clearly remain in favour of most sellers.
