The RBA’s big cash rate call is coming this afternoon… but before we get to the “will they or won’t they” moment, let’s take a step back and look at what’s actually shaping the economy right now. 

From moves on Wall Street to policy plays in Beijing, here’s what’s making news: 

  • The impact of Trump’s tariffs and what’s unfolding in the US economy right now 
  • How China’s stimulus measures could flow through to Aussie exports 
  • The slowdown in the Eurozone and why it’s making global markets a little twitchy 
  • Australia’s heavy reliance on government spending and why that needs to stop 
  • The latest inflation and jobs data 

This pre-RBA update gives you the context you need to understand not just what might happen today, but why it’s on the cards.  

Then, join Ben LIVE from 2:20pm (AEST) as the RBA reveals its cash rate decision — with instant analysis, reactions, and what it means for you.
