Pay packets are growing at pretty solid 4.1% (annual). It’s beating inflation. Does that put pressure on the RBA to hike interest rates? ⁦ABC News⁩

The RBA has done it again, hiking interest rates to an 11 year high. Business groups will be keen to blame wages, but remember, excess profits are the main culprit driving this inflation. Greg Jericho explains. #auspol

Rates won't be going up! 📉🏦 Australia’s latest inflation figures have come in better than expected, strengthening the case for the Reserve Bank to leave interest rates on hold in August. With inflation continuing to ease, another rate rise now could unnecessarily damage confidence in an already fragile property market. Sometimes the smartest move isn’t doing more—it’s giving previous rate rises time to work. 🤔 #InterestRates #Inflation #PropertyMarket #RBA #RealEstate #Australia

Inflation and interest rates were trending down before Trump launched his tariffs and the Iran War. Now prices are spiking, and the Fed is expected to hike rates this year. That means higher costs for Americans for gas, groceries, credit cards & mortgages. 📸: Morning Joe

Rick Rule: Politically, the Fed will ultimately have to lower interest rates. We have entered an inflationary era similar to the 70s, but the fiscal situation is vastly different. - Debt/GDP: ~30% then vs ~123% now - Interest expense: ~$50B then vs ~$1.2T now - Deficits: ~1–4% then vs ~6% now In fact, the government now pays more in annual interest expenses than the entire US debt was in the late 70s. But it’s not just the government that can’t afford higher rates. Markets will feel it too: - Private credit - Consumer durables - Real estate All are heavily impacted by higher interest rates. Sooner rather than later, political pressure will force the Fed to lower rates. Volcker was able to hike aggressively because debt/GDP had been inflated away after WW2. Today, debt/GDP is above WW2-era levels, which is why the US can’t fight inflation the same way it did in the early 80s. First you inflate the debt away to a more manageable level... Then you raise rates to kill inflation. Not the other way around.

Inflation is awake and your cash is having a nap. Bad portfolio strategy, mate.⁣ ⁣ If rates are up, money sitting in a zero-interest account is volunteering for a pay cut.⁣ ⁣ More on how to navigate inflation:

Bessent: "I called it the three I's — immigration, interest rates, and inflation — that were killing American people. Close the border — promise kept. Interest rates are down, and the 10-year bond, again the best year since 2020, and inflation led by energy prices is going to roll next year."

Jerome Powell has signaled the Fed intends to keep raising interest rates. Remember: Raising rates puts the burden of fighting inflation mostly on middle-class and low-wage workers and does nothing to address corporate price gouging.

Relying on the Fed to raise interest rates puts the burden of fighting inflation mostly on lower-wage workers, who are already hurting most from rising prices. Stop raising interest rates. Better solutions? A windfall profits tax, price controls, and antitrust enforcement.

If you want more houses, don't put a tax on housing. But that is how Labor thinks, their economic policies have driven up inflation and interest rates and Australians are sick of it.
