The RBA's post-COVID rate hikes caused Australians to work more
By Gareth HutchensThe International Monetary Fund found that thousands of Australians took on a second or third job when the RBA hiked rates rapidly in 2022 and 2023. It expected the opposite.

Japan is normalizing frequent currency interventions and signaling tactics to hold the yen near a target range, with quiet backing from the U.S. despite limited impact from rate hikes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/05/05/yen-intervention-new-normal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #yen #boj #sanaetakaichi #fed #monetarypolicy #yen #dollar #forex #satsukikatayama

@InsurgoFormica
Well, I think we’re going to have to disagree on that because I think that the Board is captivated by the ‘job market’ figures as unemployment is deemed too high for #NeoLiberal #MonetaryPolicy (paraphrasing from Greg Jericho’s observations of the RBA). And, as I tooted before, the current economic data do not yet reflect any impact of the previous #CashRate rise.But, I guess time will tell (6 months at least by my reckoning) if the RBA made the right or wrong decision this time around.
No worries dude, we have a different opinion that’s all. -
“14.30 AEST
Of course the #RBA did… against the better judgement of economists who are not died-in-the-wool #NeoLiberals. This rise will do nothing to stop inflation due to Stupid #tRump and his mate #Netanyahu military fling. The underlying inflation does not warrant this (according to Greg Jerocho — one of the more sensible economist driven by facts rather than mad theories). Further more, the lasat #CashRate rise has yet to show its effect on the economic numbers FFS.“RBA raises interest rates for third time in 2026
reported by Luca IttimaniThe Reserve Bank has increased its official interest rate to 4.35%, as prices rise at their fastest pace since 2023.
The RBA’s board today hiked rates for a third consecutive meeting in 2026 after increases in February and March. Rates are now back where they were at the start of 2025, with each of that year’s three rate cuts now unwound.
Today’s hike was widely expected, picked by most economists surveyed by Bloomberg. But financial markets had not fully priced in an increase, with some thinking the RBA might wait and see what the federal government does with its budget next week.” (Source: The Guardian Live)

CW: Coarse language
#MayTheFourth is just around the corner and with it the prospect of yet another ill conceived #CashRate rise… That is what the #RBA will deliver, if you’re to believe the majority of economic punters — not that I have much faith in economists’ speculations given they build their career on theorising about the past.
Still, if this does occur, I’d imagine it would be the equivalent of stomping on the gas pedal on the wrong side of the road to avoid an accident. Meanwhile, #JimChalmersMP driving behind it all will be squirming in his seat stomping on the brake pedal to avoid the mess created by the #RBA.
Much is going to be written about the RBA May and July meetings because, well…#Trump the well know insider traders and general fucktard.

Not to belabour the point, but the #RBA stuff-up needs platforming IMO.
“The Law of Unintended Consequences is always at work. It’s a fair bet those who crafted the RBA review and the cheer squad who campaigned for it didn’t intend to diminish the institution,
an institution whose credibility matters as much as what it actually does.But diminished the RBA is, and thus the message it tried to deliver with Tuesday’s rate rise is weakened, the pain of tighter monetary policy delivering less gain.
Instead of a strong message about the bank being committed to lower inflation, the mechanism invented by the review has resulted in a rise, the strength of which was quickly assessed by the market as being half-arsed.
Our central bank lifting rates while the rest of the world is either sitting pat or thinking of cutting would normally be greeted by our dollar rising. Instead, it fell.” (by Michael Pascoe | Mar 18, 2026)

" Does anything central banks do really matter any more? Even for the mighty US, it is fiscal, not monetary policy, that now determines economic conditions, and the Fed is struggling to maintain its independence. And for small open economies like the UK, both monetary and fiscal policy already dance to a geopolitical tune. When Trump speaks, markets panic, and governments and central banks rush to stabilise their economies (and in some cases, ward off the bombs).
The golden age of independent central banks is over. And sovereignty is for the birds. This is the US’s imperial moment, and Trump is its Caesar Augustus."
