Version 0.99 (2024-07-02 04:57:36.826000)

updates: The RBA is facing a dilemma as the recession deepens and the risk of an interest rate hike looms. The Australian economy expanded by 0.1% in Q1 2024. Higher interest rates could spike borrowing costs, reduce disposable income, and cripple household spending. The RBA's cautious approach to interest rate hikes is in contrast to other central banks, such as the US Federal Reserve (Fed), which has signaled a possible reduction in rates. The RBA is delaying rate cuts, making it one of the last G10 central banks to adopt a reduction policy.

Version 0.28 (2023-12-22 02:59:20.894000)

updates: US stocks have climbed to record highs in November, marking their best month this year. The positive performance of US stocks reflects the belief that lower interest rates will boost corporate profits and support the overall economy. The S&P 500 index has risen by 3.4% in November, its best monthly performance since June. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has also had a strong month, gaining about 0.6%. The stock market rally is fueled by optimism that the Federal Reserve is done with hiking interest rates. The release of the PCE index, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, came in line with expectations, adding to the notion that the Fed may cut rates sooner than thought. Investors are also focused on the OPEC+ meeting and hopes for a deal on oil supply cuts. Real-estate stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs) experienced a surge in trading after the Federal Reserve indicated that it would be cutting interest rates in the future. Lower interest rates make the funding and cost of debt for REITs more affordable. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached an all-time high after the Federal Reserve announced interest rate cuts for next year. The S&P 500 has climbed approximately 15% since October. Analysts warn that the market run is likely to slow down in the coming days or months as gains may outstrip economic outlook. However, there is optimism about market performance over the next year as the Fed aims to achieve a balance between inflation and recession. Interest rate cuts are expected to benefit stocks by making borrowing cheaper and signaling optimism about the economy. While expectations of rate cuts may not sustain a continuous market rally, analysts express hope for strong market performance in the next calendar year as inflation normalizes and hiring remains robust. Potential risks include stubborn inflation and a slowdown in economic growth, but a recession is not expected.
