The new lowest owner occupier rate at NAB is now 5.19% p.a. (6.16% p.a. comparison rate*) for two years fixed, LVR up to 80%.

For investors the two year fixed product also has the lowest rate, now 5.34% p.a. (6.43% p.a.. comparison rate* for LVR up to 70%, 6.59% p.a. comparison rate* for LVR 70-80%).

NAB now offers fixed rates well below Commonwealth Bank and Westpac while the lowest ANZ rate is also 5.19% p.a.. (6.44% p.a.. comparison rate*) for two years fixed.

Several other lenders also cut fixed rates this week, Bendigo Bank the biggest name.

Most economists including the NAB economics team are predicting the RBA will cut by another 25 basis points at next week's meeting after inflation continued to moderate in the June quarter while unemployment increased to 4.3%.

NAB Head of Market Economics Tapas Strickland said the Q2 Consumer Price Index (CPI) "locked in" an August rate cut.

"The RBA was waiting [in July] for Q2 CPI data to see whether it still supported the Board's expectation of inflation declining slowly towards 2.5%," Mr Strickland explained.

"In our view this gradual disinflation narrative remains on track with [inflation figures]."

As of 7 August, market expectations put a 51% chance of a double sized 50 bps cut in August, which would take the cash rate all the way down to 3.35%, but Mr Strickland believes the RBA will still be "cautious and gradual".

"Elevated cost pressures in the NAB Business Survey suggest [Q2 CPI] should not change the RBA's cautious and gradual approach," he said.
