Reserve Bank slashes rates


www.abc.net.au

The Reserve Bank of Australia has suprised financial markets by slashing interest rates by 1 per cent because of the severe international financial conditions.

This took me completely by surprise. I guess it's one way o tackle a slowing economy, but then it didn't do the US much good.

Ms Kevans also says another rate cut is likely before Christmas.

"We'll definitely see a follow up cut in November," she said.

"It depends what happens in financial markets between now and then as to how drastic that cut is.

"But we're likely to see at least 25 basis points in November."

I just turned on 774 ABC and heard them raving on about it. Good news I guess, however, like all interest rates changes, they are only temporary either way. I'll just cross my fingers now in the hope that America doesn't pull us down the *snip* chute with them.
