SYDNEY - Australia’s central bank will likely hold its cash rate at a record low of 0.75% next week but cut at least once more later this year, a Reuters poll showed, amid signs the country’s economy was still stuck in a slow lane.

Australia’s A$1.95 trillion economy is in its 29th year of recession-free expansion, the longest boom among developed countries.
