203 - Labour market news, a pacy 50 bps Fed rate cut, and how Middle East unrest affects us down here.
Episode 203
Thursday, 19 September, 2024

In this short but packed episode, we go through the complex economic landscape facing Australia and the world. We discuss the significance of the still tight Australian labour market and its implications for monetary policy, dissect why the US Federal Reserve decided on a rather large 50 basis point rate cut, and explore how Middle East tensions could spark global economic instability. All these factors set the stage for a complex upcoming Reserve Bank of Australia meeting. We love to hear your feedback, email us at: publications@aicd.com.au
