πŸ“ˆ The #RBA has left interest rates on hold at 4.35% (again) as #inflation is still too high. Economists from the 'big four' banks now predict the first rate cut will happen in February 2025. πŸ“Ί Others are not so sure. My latest story on YouTube πŸ‘‡πŸΌ youtu.be/G3cMu9LYFL4?si…

Remember when people argued a mining tax was an unacceptable 'sovereign risk'? It's quite tame compared to having your CEO locked up in a foreign country, ruled by a military govt who's after a big 'pay day' (as #gold miner Resolute Mining can attest) πŸ‘‡πŸΌyoutu.be/QpXbpCyfAV0?si…

πŸ“ˆ Donald #Trump says the US will impose 10% tariffs on goods from #China, and 25% tariffs on all products from Mexico and Canada. πŸ’° This led to the #AUD tumbling as low as 64.35 US cents (its weakest in seven months). Here's what it all meansπŸ‘‡ youtube.com/watch?v=AoFtUu…

#Trump's tariff announcements have rattled #markets β€” the #AUD (seven-month low), Canadian dollar (four-year low), Mexican peso (two-year low). I spoke with Credit Union SA's Susan Stone about how the Australian #economy will be affected by a trade war:πŸ‘‡ youtube.com/watch?v=mG7bnt…

πŸ“ˆAustralia's #inflation figures are a mixed bag: - It slowed to 2.1% in the year to October due to energy subsidies (good!) - But on another measure ('trimmed mean' inflation), it rose 3.5% (not good!) Confused? I don't blame you. I break it down here: youtube.com/watch?v=ivjJ7p…

πŸ“ˆ ANZ is the latest major bank to revise its prediction on when the #RBA will start cutting rates (from Feb to May 2025). It's partly because #inflation is still too high, and Australia's #jobs market is surprisingly strong. My latest report on YouTube πŸ‘‡πŸΌ youtu.be/xA9Jav-QWJw?si…

The #RBA has left interest rates on hold for more than a year (at 4.35%), and hasn't completely ruled out a rate cut in Feb 2025. Economists are betting on multiple cuts next year (something mortgage-stressed borrowers are praying for). My latest story πŸ‘‡πŸΌ youtu.be/2-nHu47pE44?si…
