AngloSaxon said:On the ABC they explained the cut in part as the RBA saying inflation wasn't a problem.
Not a problem? At the supermarket yesterday we noticed the breakfast oats we didn't buy last week, were this week a full 10% more expensive. 10% inflation!

I remember when interest rates were 17%
I'm sure the idea of 2% rates at that time seemed completely impossible to everyone but here we are
Higher rates may seem unlikely now but history shows they will happen again

Just been catching up on some old threads and wonder if you ever did an update for this?TheEnd said:Just seen on the news that alot of economists are predicting that the RBA will drop interest rates tmrw another .25%.
Some buyers are waiting to borrow until they get the rate cut.
This cut will bring a new record low rate ever in Oz.
I'm going to sit on the side with my popcorn and watch the bubble become even more inflated over the next couple of years!![]()

" I invested 20k into a locally designed and made automotive LPG system that is presently under R&D and I have had some technical input on its design as I am a Diesel mechanic by trade .... It will be light years ahead of any other product and this year I should make up to 100K if the shares and company lift off when the final product is available to sell to the world later in the year....."
Be keen to read a link if you can post it for me .

Cutting rates is, in the current situation, ment to lure bank savers towards products that got overpriced after a central bank-initiated / organized frontrun, as to make them waste their savings, as to erase their purchasing power, as to have no competition when they buy stuff other people / the savers produced.Slam said:I'm guessing it will be on hold.
I don't see why the RBA would want to cut rates at this stage. What effect are the planning achieve from it? The economy is still humming along.

Jobs will be harder to find if there's a recession.TheEnd said:O.k so another month has passed and the RBA have left rates at 2.00%.
Some are saying there maybe another rate cut at the August meeting?
I bloody hope so, so Joe Hockey can call a recession.
The recession is already here with retails numbers coming out today saying they are not as good as predicted.
And jobs are bloody hard to find also its tough out there.
