Welcome to the first RBA Rate Announcement of 2024, a year that heralds a fresh and insightful approach to our economic updates! This year, we're thrilled to announce a dynamic new partnership: Ben will be teaming up with Evan Lucas for all future RBA insights. With this powerhouse duo at the helm, you can bet we're diving far beyond the basics. Evan Lucas isn't just any analyst; he's a titan in the world of economics (and he’s appeared multiple times on our show!) As the author of the best selling book, "Mind Over Money: Why Understanding Your Money Behaviour Will Improve Your Financial Freedom," Evan brings a wealth of experience as a market strategist and a fervent passion for investment.In this month's video, they tackle several pivotal topics:  The Global Giant - Dissecting the US Economy: The US economy acts as a barometer for the global financial climate. Our experts dissect its latest GDP growth rates and Federal Reserve decisions to uncover how these factors ripple across the globe, impacting Australia directly.  Navigating the Waters of Global and Domestic Inflation: The spectre of inflation has loomed large over economies worldwide. Ben and Evan explore whether inflation remains a pressing concern or if recent trends suggest it's receding into the rearview mirror. #Finally  Employment Data – Decoding the Numbers: The duo delves into the complexities of employment data, advocating for a closer look at underutilization rates as a more telling indicator of the job market's health than traditional metrics might suggest.  Forecasting Australia's Economic Voyage: They assess the potential challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, asking: will we navigate calm seas or face turbulent waters?  Now, what are you waiting for?
