The RBA cut rates yesterday, but is the first one in this cycle also the last one for a little while? Governor Michele Bullock said successive cuts wasn’t the lay-down misère that markets had been expecting. NAB’s Taylor Nugent talks through the decision, the forecasts and the commentary. There’s also discussion about UK employment, Canadian inflation and today’s RBNZ decision. Plus, the latest on Europe, where the idea of a more cohesive approach to defence seems to be gaining traction, whilst exploratory talks between the US and Russia provided nothing to get excited about. Nobody in the room looked happy.
