The RBA Says Rates Are Going To Rise Further…

Reserve Bank of Australia governor Philip Lowe appeared on the ABC’s 7.30 television program last night. I cannot recall the last time an RBA Governor did this – which to me signifies the importance of the event at this critical and uncertain time.

Governor Lowe said inflation will peak at a “very high” 7 per cent later this year, and ease back next year.
