0105 GMT - REA Group's domestic listings volumes could be further hit by the potential for interest-rate hikes, Citi analyst Siraj Ahmed warns. The News Corp-controlled property advertiser's new listings are down by 6% so far in its FY 2026, although the rate of decline was 4% in November. Ahmed observes that year-earlier comparisons become easier over coming months, but cautions that the rate outlook could hit market activity. The Reserve Bank of Australia this week held the country's cash rate and signaled that the next move could be up. Citi has a neutral rating and A$279.25 target price on the stock, which is down 0.9% at A$188.96. News Corp is the parent company of Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
