Welcome to the fourth RBA Rate Release of 2024 with your hosts, Ben Kingsley and Evan Lucas!
Here’s a rundown of what Ben and Evan discuss in today’s episode:
- RBA’s Cash Rate Decision: We’re covering the latest from the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate decision, as announced at 2:30pm (AEST) today!
- Australia’s GDP Growth Slump: Australia’s economic growth has hit a big slowdown – the worst since the early ’90s recession, but population growth is helping us avoid a full-on recession. The RBA, though, is still waiting to see inflation drop.
- Job Market Tightness: Jobs in Australia are in high demand, with more folks than ever juggling multiple gigs. It shows some economic strength, but with folks saving less and spending more, we might be hitting a snag.
- Property Market Trends: Property loans are on the rise, especially for owner-occupier homes and investments. Ben crunches the numbers on land taxes and rental yields across the states, giving us the lowdown on exactly how it affects those in the property market.
