#Australia #AusPOL #Recession GDP Per Capita has declined in Australia for the last two quarters, so for all intents and purposes, we are in a recession for the first time in 27 years. Our politicians need to use the R-word before the RBA starts playing with QE or negative interest rate. Perhaps some infrastructure projects […]

Is this just smart investors moving funds into the equities market and hedging their bets or is the bond rally and market confusion a sign of impending recession?

With a short timeframe and a loosening of criteria, it seems like a desperate move, particularly with additional interest rate cuts on the way.
