(Reuters) - Australian "Big Four" lenders cut their interest rates by 25 basis points on Tuesday, in tandem with the central bank cutting its rates for the first time since November 2020.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut its cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.10%, saying progress had been made on inflation, though it remained cautious on further monetary policy easing.

The central bank's cut was its first move since raising the rate to a 13-year high of 4.35% in November 2023.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the country's largest lender, said the change will be implemented on its eligible business lending products and would be effective from February 28.
