  • Shallow and misleading

    No, Indonesia will not be ‘paying 19% tariffs’, because tariffs are a tax paid by the importer (in the US), which most of us know. Please don’t reinforce the false narrative!

    Massively irritating. If there was any actual economic information, it was buried under the excessive tatting around.

Q+A: NAB CEO on rates, risk and the AI shift in banking
Q: Do you think stagflation is a risk for the economy?
Stagflation is a loaded term, but inflation remains a priority; the focus is on reducing inflation through supply-side improvements like housing and energy efficiency while sustaining growth.
Q+A: NAB CEO on rates, risk and the AI shift in banking
Q: When the Reserve Bank Board makes its announcement, what do you think is going to happen to interest rates?
The NAB house view is that there will likely be one more rate rise, though there is uncertainty, and the central bank faces the challenge of cooling demand without triggering a sharp downturn.
RBA hikes rates; Westpac sold-off; EV sales surge
Q: What happened at yesterday's Reserve Bank Board meeting and what should the government do next in the budget?
The panel discusses the likelihood of continued rate hikes, inflation pressures, and policy options, emphasizing the need for prudent fiscal measures to support households and dampen demand shocks.
$11b for fuel stockpile; banks lead ASX higher; value of Aussie farmland surges
Q: What are the key components of the fuel security package?
It includes 3.2 billion to establish a 1 billion litre stockpile and 7.5 billion to support refiners and importers, with loans and guarantees to bolster stockpiles.
Govt unveils gas reservation plan; ASX surges on peace hopes; Ted Turner dies
Q: What is the potential impact of the gas reservation policy on investment and energy prices in Australia?
The policy is framed to create downward pressure on domestic prices and secure a domestic gas supply, while arguing it may cause some disruption to investment or contracts; the long-term effect is framed as a structural shift intended to balance domestic needs with export markets.
