What do the great war time Prime Minister John Curtin, and current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have in common? Well, a little bit, according to Albanese. On the weekend the PM delivered the John Curtin Oration and set tongues wagging with hints about his newly independent stance when it comes to our relationship with the United States. But how will this land with the Trump administration, which is currently reviewing the AUKUS pact? Is it possible they will make Australia pay more for submarines under the pact? Or pressure us into participating in a possible conflict with China over Taiwan? Plus, the confusing matter of yet more US tariffs on Australian goods, perhaps…and what is going on with the Reserve Bank - are they misleading the public, or are they just confused themselves?

New data shows household spending increased in June by 0.3%, but is it enough to get the economy moving amidst a cautious Reserve Bank? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mortgage-holders will be holding their breath in after yesterday's OCR announcement. The Reserve Bank's opted to keep the Official Cash Rate unchanged at 3.25% while signalling the possibility of further cuts. But new ASB research suggests interest rates remain volatile, with several opposing forces at play. Finance and Mortgage Association Country Manager Leigh Hodgetts told Andrew Dickens that they're holding out hope for a cut in August. She says that people are looking for a bit of relief in their household spending, which would come from interest rates coming down. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a while now I've been thinking that the Reserve bank and the Government are working at cross purposes for the country. Yesterday the Reserve Bank kept the OCR at the same rate it's at. The reason: increasing inflation and little or no growth in GDP. Now the Government has an agenda of growth, growth, growth. So reduced interest rates could help stimulate the economy that has some very flat spots in between primary produce and tourism. But the Reserve Bank's purview is inflation, and low interest rates fire on consumerism and inflation. So, the rate isn't lowered. It's fair to say the Reserve Bank won't do what the Government would like it to do. Meanwhile, the Government pulls back on all government spending, including stuff that fires on an economy, like construction, public builds, roading, and more. If you want proof: Government accounts in the 11 months to the end of May for investing and operational activities was $3 billion less than forecast and $6.4 billion less than the same 11 months a year ago. So, the money isn't stirring. And as the interest rates have fallen, we're not using the cheaper cash to spend. Our farmers and our businesses and households are choosing to pay back debt instead. The Government wants private capital to invest in this country, but the cash isn't cheap, and the investments aren't coming, and as I said before why would anyone want to invest in this country when even the government is keeping it's wallet shut? So welcome to year three of recession with no change in sight unless the policies of the Reserve Bank and the Government work in tandem.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Reserve Bank's expected to press pause on the Official Cash Rate this afternoon, but that's not it's only option. The OCR's sitting at 3.2% after six consecutive rates reductions since last August. Mortgage rates have followed it down over that time, falling to about 5%. ANZ Chief economist Sharon Zollner told Andrew Dickens a 25-basis-point cut wouldn't be a bad idea, given GDP may have gone backwards. She says that more than offsets the fact that GDP in the first three months was stronger than expected. Zollner says it matters quite a bit that momentum's flagging at the moment.

The UK saw another round of combined sterling and gilt weakness, a pattern which is becoming worryingly familiar. Politics elsewhere seemed to have run a bit more smoothly with the US budget bill passing through the Senate and House, teeing up some degree of fiscal expansion for the year ahead. Tariffs remain on the agenda for the week ahead, as we approach the 9 July deadline. In Asia, we focus on the Bank of Korea's likely hawkishness relative to potential rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

This is the fourth episode of a new podcast series curated by TechCentral's editorial team and generated by artificial intelligence tools. It's an experiment that's in beta for now, but if it works well, we'll consider making it a regular feature by launching a season 1. In this episode, we highlight some of the biggest technology news stories from South Africa and the world over the last week, as covered by TechCentral. Note that even using the most accurate and reliable sources, AI can and will occasionally make mistakes. In this episode, we look at: • Takealot's talks about hiring thousands of retrenched Post Office employees to support its e-commerce expansion plans; • Why South Africans' use of cash is costing the economy billions of rand a year, according to the Reserve Bank; • City Power's plan to roll out electric vehicle charging stations in Johannesburg; • The Internet Service Providers' Association's view of communications minister Solly Malatsi's plan to introduce equity equivalence in licensing in the ICT sector; • Intel's pivot to the “14A” manufacturing technology and what it means in its fight with TSMC for foundry customers; • Bank Zero's sale to Lesaka Technologies; and • The mental health impact of AI chatbots. Again, this podcast is experimental. We welcome your feedback. Would you like this podcast to become a regular feature? Is there anything you'd like us to improve? Is it too short or too long?

This week, Monika talks about the coming fall in bank fixed deposit (FD) rates as the Reserve Bank of India signals a low-interest rate environment ahead. With major banks like SBI already reducing savings account interest to 2.5%, Monika explains why risk-averse investors should act now to lock in current FD rates. She discusses strategies like laddering across time periods and breaking large deposits into smaller ones for flexibility. She also touches on senior citizen benefits, special FD schemes, and why she prefers sticking with larger banks over smaller or fintech-based FD platforms for safety.She then explains deposit insurance in India. Monika breaks down how DICGC covers your deposits up to ₹5 lakh per bank, including both principal and interest, and clarifies how coverage works if you hold accounts in multiple banks or under different account types. This helps listeners understand how to spread deposits smartly for maximum safety.In audience questions, Arvind asks whether he should surrender or make paid-up two LIC New Jeevan Anand policies bought early in his career, and seeks advice on getting health insurance for his senior citizen parents. Vishak wants to know how to deploy a large lump sum sitting idle in his bank account and whether to surrender an ongoing LIC policy. Finally, an anonymous listener shares how he's coping financially after a recent job loss and asks whether he should pause mutual fund investments or continue them using his savings.Chapters:(00:33 – 05:44) Bank FD rates will fall: Why you should lock in now (05:45 – 07:12) How deposit insurance protects your money(07:13 – 11:20) LIC surrender vs paid-up and getting health cover for parents(11:21 – 13:31) Deploying a lump sum and what to do with a dud LIC policy(13:32 – 16:21) Managing finances after a job loss: Building a cushion and staying on trackIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at mailme@monikahalan.com Monika's book on basic money managementhttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/Monika's book on mutual fundshttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/Monika's workbook on recording your financial lifehttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/Calculatorshttps://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.htmlYou can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan.

A friend of ours opened a new business last week. It was a soft opening and will be full steam ahead by the school holidays. So far he is going gangbusters. There's a lot of local support and it looks like a good news story. He is however, if you believe the headlines that have been supplied by his industry association, in very dark and difficult days. They don't look difficult at his place. The GDP figures came out as we were away on the long weekend - up 0.8% for Q1. The Reserve Bank thought it would be 0.4%. Most banks thought it would be 0.7%. The reality was better than everyone thought. Nick Tuffley, the ASB's head man on economics, also on Thursday told us he still had growth in the second quarter just gone, April, May and June. He had us 0.3-0.4% up. Other commentary last week from manufacturing and services said we had hit a brick wall. If Nick is right there is no brick wall, the same way Q1 was not 0.4%, it was 0.8%. The point is this: is it possible we are in such a funk we don't want to see reality? You know what else I read? Australia, the repository of so many disillusioned New Zealanders, is now losing more people than it has since Covid. A mass exodus is on. People are bailing out of Australia, healthcare is chronically bad, you can't get seen, the Government is sinking in debt, house prices have spiked past an average of a million everywhere, there are more people than ever since records began and people are working multiple jobs just to make ends meet. This is Australia, the golden answer for the miserable Kiwi looking for better. Maybe better is here? Maybe in a turbulent, troubled world the Land of the Long White Cloud is actually coming right and people like our mate and his new business sees it. And a lot of what's in front of us is attitude. Is there trouble in some areas? Yes. Are there issues still unresolved? Yes. But do we have growth and prospect? Yes. Do the numbers back that up? Indeed they do! Maybe the grass is in fact nice and just as green here. You just got to want to see it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's largest bank is lending less cash to businesses than it was half a decade ago. Figures from the Reserve Bank show a softening across all bank business lending since the pandemic, with ANZ the only one going backwards. The overall growth rate across all banks has slowed to just 1.5%, down from 6% in 2013. ANZ CEO Antonia Watson told Mike Hosking much of the drop is caused by a decrease in lending to commercial property. She says their decision was to support their existing customers through rising interest rates and tougher circumstances as opposed to taking on new customers. However, she confirmed the bank is back to taking on new customers. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
