- The Australian dollar rose sharply against the yen as the Bank of Japan lifted interest rates to their highest level in three decades.
With two dissenters on the BoJ board, the lack of consensus is raising doubts about how committed the Japanese central bank is to hiking rates to curb higher inflation.
Elsewhere, the Bank of England kept rates on hold, while surging fuel prices as a result of the US-Iran war have led to Donald Trump's approval ratings taking a massive hit.
The ASX, meanwhile, has dropped almost 4 per cent since the month began.

Clive Maguchu says the RBA won't be done at 4.6 per cent, but he wouldn't put a peak on the cash rate saying the economic environment is too uncertain.

- The Middle East war continues to drive up the price of liquid fuels, particularly diesel that powers our industrial, transport and agricultural sectors. NSW Farmers' Grain Committee chair Adrian Roles says "it's not like we can pass on these additional costs because we sell into a global commodity market, so we're price takers as well."
The price of diesel has soared since the conflict began and will accelerate because the base product - brent crude oil - is back above $US100 dollars a barrel. In addition, a global reduction in the capacity to refine diesel means the gap between the price of crude oil and what diesel costs is increasing. A specific problem is that the oil being disrupted is the most conducive to being turned into diesel but there are no plans to reduce the fuel excise.
The shortage of diesel could get worse with US Senate Majority Leader John Thune sparking a discussion about a US export ban as prices in America surge too. Earlier in the w...

- The boss of the country's biggest employer group, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Andrew McKellar told The Business Tony Burke's migration announcement is "a fairly responsible plan that's been put forward. It certainly doesn't do significant damage to the economy, but it does leave some gaps." He has taken particular issue with new working holiday makers ballot system.
"Our concern would be the way this is proposed to be implemented will make it very difficult for regional and rural areas to attract backpackers to come out because the numbers in particular in that third year have been cut dramatically." He said.
Andrew McKellar says looking ahead, where the government can legislate change, rather than relying on regulation it should, as this allows more certainty for business. "I think that's where the opposition comes in, so the government's now put its cards on the table. We would say it's also time for the opposition to come to the party...

- Description
- US President Donald Trump is not happy about the Federal Reserve's decision to lift America's interest rates for the first time in three years.
He complained on social media afterwards that: "Interest rates in the United States should be 1%, or less".
But lowering rates when inflation is too high would cause cost of living pressures to worsen.
Meanwhile, the Australian share market continues to bounce back from its three-month low.

- Description
- The chances of another interest rate hike from the Reserve Rank have risen sharply following the decision by the US Federal Reserve to defy President Donald Trump and raise interest rates from 3.75 to 4 per cent.
Westpac chief economist and former RBA assistant governor Luci Ellis says there would have been a sigh of relief within the Reserve Bank at the news, because US Fed chair Kevin Warsh was handpicked by Donald Trump to slash rates.
She says if the Fed were to cut rates, "we would have had more market turmoil and that would have caused more of a bond market issue globally."
The Westpac chief economist says the RBA will now focus on inflation, particularly domestic inflation.
"In the end, it comes down to domestic inflation pressures and that domestic demand dynamic that we're seeing. The household sector has got a bit more income than we thought... We do expect inflation to come down from here, but the RBA will be nervous abou...
