Claim 1: “No hike in interest rate”
MISLEADING
The claim 'No hike in interest rate' is partially supported by one web search result mentioning the Reserve Bank did not increase rates in July. However, the evidence is highly mixed and context-dependent. One cross-reference suggests preparing for *potential* increases, while another web search mentions a specific 'on hold' period for a different bank (RBA). The Wikipedia sources are irrelevant as they discuss the Fed and RBI, not the specific rate decision in question. Because the evidence mixes specific 'no hike' reports with warnings of *potential* hikes, the claim is technically true in some contexts but misleadingly presented as a blanket statement.

Claim 2: “Reserve Bank raises inflation alarm”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources indicate that central banks or experts are issuing warnings regarding inflation. One web search cites Goolsbee warning of rising inflation due to oil shocks. Another web search mentions the Federal Reserve considering 'inflation pressures and inflation expectations.' While the evidence does not confirm *which* specific Reserve Bank issued the warning, the theme of inflation warnings from major economic bodies is strongly corroborated across multiple, distinct web search results.
