Australian Business News the Good and the Bad

Added: (Sat Mar 13 2010)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Prices and inflation tend to see-saw up and down all the time and experts have their work cut out in predicting what is going to happen. Most times they are right but occasionally even they get it wrong and are pleasantly surprised.
Australian business news is both good and bad. It seems that a private survey has confirmed what the man on the street already knows and that is that the price of goods such as fresh food, petrol and travelling is rising. Prices also seem ready to rise in the other sectors such as educational construction, housing and services. What might surprise the ordinary person is that there was also supposed to have been a fall in rental prices that partly offset the other surges. Not everyone would agree with that piece of Australian business news.

What all this Australian business news boils down to is that inflation is now expected to rise and so we are likely to get hit with another interest rate rise as the powers that be try and stop inflation from going through the roof.

An interest rise in March 2010 was predicted as early as last year by experts in Australian business news, but now they are tipping that there could even be two interest rate hikes in that month rather than the one. If this happens it will surely have the effect of pushing down inflation to a rate that is manageable.

While the Australian business news experts can and do predict with fair accuracy what will happen in the coming year, they can still be surprised by the unexpected, such as the recent fall in unemployment figures. They were also expecting much more doom and gloom in the Australian economy as the global recession tore chunks out of the economies of many other countries, but that didnt happen at least not to the extent that was expected. It is good to be pleasantly surprised sometimes.
