Mortgage holders are staring down more grim news as new analysis predicts they could be facing as many as six more interest rate hikes. 9News

Canstar analysis shows the historical average cash rate is 4.6 per cent which is a full 1.5 per cent higher than the current 10-year high of 3.1 per cent.Is Australia headed for a recession in 2023?As a result, Canstar forecasts up to six more 0.25 per cent rate rises could be on the horizon.

"The Reserve Bank keeps reminding us that its cash rate decisions are all based on the data, and the December quarter inflation increase of 1.9 per cent and annual rate 7.8 per cent won't be enough to change the Bank's course," Canstar finance expert Steve Mickenbecker said.The average interest rate historically is 4.6 per cent which is 1.5 per cent above the current rate.

"Nonetheless, an average over a 33-year period gives some indication about what is at least normal, and that is a cash rate of 4.6 per cent," Mickenbecker said. It comes amid growing concerns 2023 could be the year of the recession as global economies also battle skyrocketing inflation by tightening the cash rate.
