    The average two-year fixed rate of the big four is currently 7.3 per cent. Westpac-owned St George Bank lowered the interest rate on its two-year fixed rate mortgage to 7.14 per cent from 7.54 per cent yesterday.
    Community CPS cut rates on all of its fixed-year mortgages by between 5 and 15 basis points. ANZ Bank, AMP, Commonwealth Bank, CBA-owned BankWest, ME Bank, St George-parent Westpac and mecu have also cut fixed rate loans in recent weeks.

    Are they sensing a top in the interest rate cycle and looking to lock in a few customers?
