RBA November 2024 | Our Predictions Clash: When Will Rates Drop?

Welcome back to the penultimate RBA Rate Announcement of 2024 with your hosts, Ben Kingsley and Evan Lucas! 

Here’s a rundown of what Ben and Evan discuss in today’s episode:

  1. RBA’s Cash Rate Decision: We’re diving into the latest decision from the Reserve Bank of Australia, as announced at 2:30 pm (AEDT) today!
  2. Australia’s Sticky Inflation and Next Rate Cut: Inflation remains the key concern in Australia. Evan shares his thoughts on why childcare subsidies should be prioritised, while he and Ben have a friendly debate over the direction of rates in 2025 – complete with a $50 bet!
  3. All Eyes on the US Federal Elections: The upcoming US presidential election could have major impacts both at home and globally. Rates are expected to trend downwards, but the timing is still uncertain. And will Australia follow the US’s lead on rate cuts next year?
  4. China’s Slow Growth Despite Major Stimulus Efforts: China’s economy is in a delicate balancing act, caught between President Xi’s policies and strict regulations from prior years. With a growth target of 5%, China may need further stimulus, especially if a Trump presidency complicates trade.
  5. Germany’s Tariffs on Chinese EVs: Germany’s economy is showing signs of stress, with companies like Volkswagen feeling the squeeze. This fragility could drive new actions from the European Central Bank. We also discuss the potential impact of a Trump presidency on tariffs and European funding for Ukraine.
