RBA ‘caught a lot of people off guard' with comments after rate cut
Independent analyst Evan Lucas has examined the 'bigger change' in the Reserve Bank of Australia's view on the economic downside following its decision to cut interest rates this week. 'Now, basically in the last 24 hours, pricing for the expectation of Christmas is for two with the possibility of three rate cuts to be done,' he told Sky News Australia. 'It would be a massive, massive boost ... if this comes to fruition – so, it's a big change and it's certainly caught a lot of people off guard with how sort of strong the wording to the downside it was.'

US Treasury Secretary has ‘driven a change in tack' when it comes to tariffs
Independent analyst Evan Lucas claims US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been the one over the last four to five weeks who has 'driven a change in tack' when it comes to tariffs. This comes as the White House is considering cutting steep tariffs on Chinese imports in a bid to de-escalate trade tensions with Beijing. According to the Wall Street Journal, tariffs could come down to between 50 and 65 per cent under a tiered approach – however, the US President has yet to make a final decision. 'There's still a long way to go – it's a good step,' Mr Lucas told Sky News Australia.
