FedSpeak Brings Out The Bulls!

Fed Chair Powell gave an address overnight which set the markets running higher. The FED will lift rates further but perhaps more slowly. The markets liked that with the Dow moving into bull territory.

And in Australia, ANZ has up forecast future rates here, higher for longer.

How Far Will The Contempt Go?

This is an edited and updated version of a show originally posted on “In The Interests Of The People”, with Economist John Adams and I discussing the current ASIC inquiry being run in the Senate.

There were some answers provided last week to questions on notice about ASIC’s conduct in terms of trying to lobby to stop the inquiry.

But in late breaking news, and not covered in the earlier show, further questions and answers were posted late last Friday evening (putting the trash out?) demonstrating just how unwilling the Corporate Regulator is in terms of disclosure. Is this contempt?

The earlier IOTP show, where we also discuss how Crypto plays into this, is available here. https://youtu.be/JPoOyV3Mvis

The RBA’s Australian Exceptionalism Theory

What if the RBA’s monetary policy is too weak? Perhaps we are not as exceptional, and we may be following parallel tracks to those in New Zealand and The Federal Reserve. How different are we really?

The Market’s Twisted Hands….

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

In another wild week, where FED speak on one hand, and hopium on the other drove markets all over the show, the Dow ended higher on Friday as investors weighed up further hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials, and the latest wave of quarterly results from retailers. Looking to the shortened trading week ahead, the Fed’s minutes from its October meeting will garner investor attention for clues on the central bank’s thinking on monetary policy.

Chief Hawk, St. Louis Fed President Bullard said this week that “Thus far, the change in the monetary policy stance appears to have had only limited effects on observed inflation,” in an analysis by the St. Louis Fed that debated the appropriate rate regime for the central bank after six increases since March.

The Biggest Drop In Living Standards In Many Decades…

A quick market update and a deep dive in the UK’s budget announcement, which was as political as it gets! The headline is households will go backwards, as unemployment rises, and a 2-year recession is likely. Worse, personal income tax bands are frozen, so the total tax take will be bigger than ever!

Investment allowances have been cut, and the future Government spending cuts have been pushed out beyond the next election.

The cost of debt to the Government rises.

This scenario is one we should expect to see playing out in other economies too. Living standards will drop.
