Just to warn the readers that this is a very shallow analyisis: main weak point is that no indication of length term in fixed interest rates loans (it is very different if you compare the 3 years loan with 10 years or 30 years), second is that the reduction in basis point need to be specified...

Not sure I understand your post WW, how do you have the AUD linked to gold? is that from AUS gold mining shares? ALso if the US$ is falling how can you benefit with the AU$ (that would obviously be rising)?

It doesn't work anymore in this maret, a couple of weeks ago NZ cut rate by 0.5% to 3% and the NZ$ gain 4 cent against Australia (no rate cut). The thing is that often market see rate cut as getting closer to the point of recovery and a fact that central bank see no risk (inflation) in reducing...
