If you watched Peter Switzer today (heard of him?) interviewing Dr John Hewson (Dr Who?) maybe you'd understand that private briefings do take place. But it was broadcast on CNBC (whats that?), so you may not have seen it. Peter and John are former RBA men. Both seem to believe that the...

Sometimes, well-placed foreign journalists are privy to news our local people either don't have access to or don't care about. France 24 (a French TV channel) has reported on the possibility on the next RBA move being down, as have Bloomberg TV and CNBC. All are fairly reliable news sources...

Well placed journalists are being unofficially briefed by RBA economists that rates may be headed down in the very near future. The interest rate cycle has clearly turned, just as the dollar has soared to new post-float highs. Here's an article that should arouse some interest...
