  • 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!

  • Cringey,giggly smug

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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q+A: The Week Ahead | 27 July 2026
Q: What does the quarterly data tell us that the monthly indicator doesn't?
The quarterly CPI smooths out volatility from volatile components like petrol, giving a clearer signal of the underlying inflation trend and reducing the noise from month-to-month swings.
RBA pressure to lift rates; Albo’s new workers’ court; Tesla sales up, profits down
Q: What does the Minerals Council of Australia see as the biggest PR and regulatory challenges facing the mining industry today?
Tanya Constable highlights the ongoing debate about the industry's social license, regulatory scrutiny, and how PR strategy needs to balance community expectations with economic realities and job creation.
ASX surges but fears remain; Myer downgrades on sales drop; “bleisure” Is back
Q: What is driving the recent market rebound?
The rebound is driven by relief over Middle East tensions, a softer oil price, and investors positioning around expected inflation data and potential corporate profits, especially in tech.
Q+A: Big Tech's AI spending is about to be tested
Q: Where is the balance between creating new AI-led revenue and protecting existing businesses?
The balance is challenging; many software names face pressure as AI can augment but not necessarily replace established products, with data and customer information providing retention advantages and making it hard to displace incumbents.
Q+A: Big Tech's AI spending is about to be tested
Q: What did we learn from Alphabet?
Alphabet showed that the market is looking for real profits from AI spending, with Google Cloud profits growing and AI features driving more searches, but higher CapEx guidance and negative free cash flow for the quarter raised concerns about sustainability.
