- Global markets are weighing the latest US inflation data as investors look for clues on where interest rates are headed next.
Has inflation cooled enough to give the Federal Reserve room to cut rates, or is the fight against rising prices far from over?
David Scutt from StoneX breaks down what the latest numbers mean for the economy and financial markets.
In Australia, attention is turning to the Reserve Bank and whether its rate hiking cycle has finally come to an end.
We explore why some analysts believe rates have peaked, what risks could challenge that outlook, and how central bank decisions continue to shape consumer confidence and business activity.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank remains focused on tackling inflation, while investors also assess weakness across gold and cryptocurrency markets.

- Dr Steven Enticott of CIA Tax says a growing number of entrepreneurs are weighing up leaving Australia as rising taxes, regulation, and compliance pressures reshape the business landscape.
Increasingly, founders are looking to offshore hubs such as Dubai, where lower or zero personal income taxes and streamlined corporate frameworks are seen as more attractive for scaling new ventures.
He describes Australia as evolving into a “lifestyle economy,” where high capital gains taxes, complex regulatory systems, and policy settings focused on redistribution are creating barriers for younger entrepreneurs trying to build and grow businesses.
This environment, he argues, is prompting a reassessment among start up founders and business owners who feel constrained at home.
Beyond taxation, global reporting standards and tighter enforcement, including AI driven oversight, are making offshore relocation more complex and requiring careful plan...

The concern centres on whether existing legal duties are still clear when AI plays a direct role in shaping boardroom decisions.

A key question is whether directors can truly understand and be held responsible for outcomes influenced by complex algorithms.
We speak with Darren Woolley from TrinityP3 about how AI is reshaping expectations in the boardroom, why AI literacy is becoming essential for directors, and what risks come with increasing reliance on automated decision-making.
