Inflation

The talking heads are now starting to state it openly. We've gotten past the point of copium/bargaining/trying to kid ourselves, next comes depression and then acceptance.
 
Alright so I've been carrying on for quite some time saying that we are never going back to the post-gfc-pre-covid 0-1% interest rate environment that an entire generation of us millennials have considered to be "normal" and we've just hit the point of no return:

US 10 year debt, the benchmark for what is considered to be the foreseeable future of interest rates has just, for the first time since before the GFC, cracked pre-GFC levels. Australian 10 year debt is very close behind.

A better indicator of what we're going to see from here on out I cannot give you.

Absent some kind of cataclysmic gfc, great depression, ww2 type event, almost-zero interest rates are not coming back within my lifetime.

Do you think Powell gets the arse straight and QE starts pumping?
 
Will we being seeing an interest rate drop next month, or is it just a furphy by the spruckers because of an upcoming Federal Election.
I'm seeing bigger economic pain on the street. Problem is the governments migration and spending. We may see a pause until after the election. Prices are still pretty sticky.
I think I saw a prediction of 76% chance of a rate cut. God knows who came up with that.
