Inflation

well last i heard Australia still has a trade surplus , sure our assorted governments believe the tax-payer is the tooth-fairy in disguise , but we still somehow manage to sell more than we slash around

i expect more hiking , but would like to be wrong this time ( i see at least two more hikes this calendar year )

Just saw this.
I've been subscribed to a few local real estate mailing lists for the past few months and have noticed that properties in Sydney are now getting passed in that would have otherwise been snapped up during boom times.
Remains to be seen if listings are up though - hard to find good sources of data on real estate without having to pay an overpriced subscription fee.

he still uses the published data + surveys but strives to be unbiased
 

Even if it doesn't actually set a record, we're still very much at an extreme right now with what's occurring.

Personally I think the market's being far too optimistic and ignoring problems in the real economy but time will tell. We're coming into the traditionally volatile period of the year after all.
 
We specialise in extremes these days.
Whether it be wings, weather or finance.
Too true, Mick. Give us this day our daily panic.

The complex beast is adjusting for new information
upward revision in the US economy’s second-quarter performance has triggered a sharp rise in US Treasury yields and rekindled debate over future rate increases.
 
GDP figures and durable goods orders for the US came out better than expected.
Crude is now pushing $80 a barrel, and it looks like these prices are being sustained.

The runway is being lit up for further hikes. Also for non-human beings....
