RBA Cash Rate October 2022: How To Stop Inflation Psychology!

Overnight Update: This video was filmed & produced before the UK’s mini-budget was scrapped.

The RBA Monthly Update doesn’t get much bigger than this.  

The Reserve Bank of Australia has once again lifted interest rates, property market sentiment is shifting fast, and despite all, Australia’s retail spending remains at record high levels. Tune in now to find out if we have finally broken the 50 basis point hike rate trend as we slowly rise above a neutral cash rate.

Meanwhile, on the global scene, the United States’ inflation runs rampant, China battles the impacts of COVID on its economy and the global growth forecast has sunken even lower.  This update points to the looming question: Will Australia be pulled into a global recession? 

(Psst…Stick around to the end of the video to get access to free resources on how to beat the banks at their own lending game!)

Tune in to hear Ben unpack all this plus these key themes:

• Interest Rates are going up again, but when will the RBA take a pause on the cash rate, and why?
