In this episode of Talk Property To Me, hosts Brad East and Aaron Downie break down why the RBA has held interest rates, why inflation remains stubbornly high, and what this really means for Australia's property market moving into 2025 and 2026. We unpack the key drivers behind the RBA's decision, including rising electricity prices, cost-of-living pressures, and why rate hikes don't always fix inflation. The discussion also dives into the latest APRA changes, including debt-to-income (DTI) limits, tighter trust lending rules, and how these policies could impact investors, first-home buyers, and affordability across Australia.

Steve and Laura reflect on the final trading session of 2025, which saw the Aussie market push higher to cap off a third consecutive year of gains. While the final week of trade was relatively subdued, a boost from the Technology and Financial sectors helped the benchmark index finish the year up nearly 6%. Reflecting on 2025, it was a massive year for the Materials sector, which surged 28% behind record-breaking runs in gold and silver, contrasting with a difficult period for Healthcare. Individual standouts included DroneShield, which finished as the year’s top performer, while HMC Capital and Bapcor were among those facing significant headwinds. Looking ahead, quarterly inflation data, central bank pivots from the RBA and the Fed, and the February reporting season all shape the outlook for the start of 2026.

En contra del retiro anticipado que prodigan los seguidores del movimiento FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early), el empresario y economista Carlos Tusquets no recomienda marcarse el objetivo de vivir de rentas a una edad temprana. “No es bueno ni para la persona ni para el colectivo”, admite el expresidente de la junta gestora del Barça y que, entre otros cargos, sigue al frente de Banco Mediolanum, entidad que dirige desde hace más de tres décadas. Desde los bastidores del mundo financiero, Tusquets comparte en el podcast Bolsillo las recetas que en su caso le han funcionado para manejarse bien con el dinero y que plasma también en 'Enriquéceme despacio, que tengo prisa' (RBA), con tres ediciones publicadas. Explica que la idea de escribir el libro surgió tras darse cuenta de que “el 90% de los ciudadanos comete los mismos errores y quien se beneficia es el 10%”. El también presidente honorífico de EFPA advierte que existen “dos carcomas” que se van comiendo el ahorro: los impuestos y la inflación. ”Si no obtenemos un rendimiento de entre un 4 y un 6% anual, depende de cada caso, no podemos superar la pérdida de poder adquisitivo”.

Stevie and Laura wrap up a quiet first week of December, with the ASX managing a small lift to notch its fourth straight day of gains. Investors worked through mixed local data, including softer GDP but a surprisingly strong jump in household spending has kept rate expectations in focus. Lithium miners were standouts on upgraded demand forecasts, Premier Investments weighed on consumer discretionary after flagging softer earnings, and NextDC climbed after striking a major data centre deal with OpenAI. With the RBA’s decision on Tuesday, the US Fed on Thursday, and key inflation and jobs data on the way, markets are bracing for a big week ahead.

Brett and Adam first discuss Australia's surprise inflation spike, which recently hit 3.8%, and then examine its potential effects on property shares, currency, and market expectations. They also analyse the housing sector's growth alongside government policies contributing to the inflation spike, highlighting how these factors may shape upcoming RBA interest rate decisions.

Banks won't tell you if you're better off with a fixed-rate mortgage. But strong evidence shows most borrowers will lose when they bet against the bank by settling on a three-year fixed rate. With expectations building that RBA rates may rise, fixed rates seem attractive once more, but you need to know why the odds are against you. Stuart Wemyss of the Prosoluton Private Clients group joins Associate Editor - Wealth, James Kirby in this episode. In today's show, we cover: You fix, you lose: here's the data over two decades The new APRA lending limits How non-banks will now rush the mortgage market Pressure mounts on CGT for residential investments See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

問：國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）對澳洲經濟的最新總體評估是怎樣的？ 答：I初步肯定澳洲經濟有韌性，通脹顯著回落，且勞工市場強勁。但同時提出多項憂慮，包括生產力疲弱、政府開支無序擴張、州政府債務嚴重以及房屋供應問題，指這些都是需要處理的結構性問題。問：IMF對澳洲政府提出哪些稅制改革建議？ 答：IMF建議澳洲應增加間接稅（例如調高商品及服務稅GST）、對礦業開徵新稅、並以房產稅取代印花稅，以建立更穩定和可持續的稅收基礎。同時建議減公司利得稅以平衡稅制。問：為何IMF的稅改建議被認為在政治上難以實行？ 答：建議中的增加銷售稅被視為累退稅（窮人負擔相對更重），在政治上難以推行，可能導致「政治自殺」。此外，由於澳洲現行的累進稅制門檻（例如18萬澳元）多年未隨通脹調整（缺乏indexation），導致越來越多人跌入最高稅階，加劇了「多勞多得」的反作用，削弱了生產力，也讓民眾對福利社會產生不滿。問：澳洲的中央銀行制度存在什麼不尋常的權力配置？ 答：根據《澳洲儲備銀行法》第11條，澳洲財政部長有權推翻澳洲儲備銀行（RBA）關於利率的決定。儘管此權力自1959年生效以來從未使用過，IMF仍指出各國政府在財政壓力下向央行施壓的現象，認為這是一個危險的信號。問：澳洲經濟面臨的長期結構性挑戰是什麼？ 答：澳洲與其他發達國家（如加拿大、歐洲）一樣，面臨實質生產力增長放緩的問題，這被認為是全球經濟告別高增長時代的普遍現象。此外，政府的福利制度（例如NDIS殘疾津貼）存在無序擴張及固化的現象，加之州政府債務（如維多利亞州）的飆升，形成了財政上的潛在炸彈，進一步影響經濟持續性。 This is a public episode.

The ASX200 closed up about 0.7%, marking three consecutive days of gains and a weekly rise of roughly 2.2% after last week’s 2.5% slump. Hotter‑than‑expected inflation (headline 3.8%, core 3.3%) pushed RBA rate‑cut odds down to 24% for May. Materials, health and consumer stocks led the upswing while tech, telcos and utilities fell. Zip jumped 7% and DroneShield 8% after a European defence contract; Temple & Webster slumped 33% on a weak trading update. Looking ahead, US inflation, jobless claims and durable‑goods data, plus the RBNZ, UK budget and Beige Book, will shape market sentiment.

In this episode, we are joined by Richard Bernstein, CIO and CEO of Richard Bernstein Advisors. We discuss why this is one of the most speculative market environments he has seen in his 40-year career, why he still believes it may also be one of the best eras for patient long-term investors, and how to think about the real opportunities hiding beneath the market's current narrow leadership.
