Folks, we’ve got a very FULL week ahead of us!

Firstly, it’s the first Tuesday of the month which means the RBA Board has met and announced the official cash rate.

And tonight at 7:30 PM (AEDT) is Budget Night! We’ll be hearing from Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and many are expecting some cash splurge. As indicated by the recent economic data, we need some good old stimulus in the economy.

This is then followed by a reply by the Labor party on Thursday! Do they agree? Do they not? Not to mention the recent shocking news that the Labor party released regarding their proposed Negative Gearing policy.

All this and more in Ben’s RBA commentaries. PLUS he’ll walk you through the global and domestic economy and give you his cash rate predictions for 2019! Make sure to tune in folks! 🙂
