Speaking of 2024, let's not ignore the RBA's inflation target statement from yesterday:

It's ironic that the undertone of Chalmers comments, post-rates announcement earlier in the month, was suggestive of a rates peak only for this to come out shortly after. Perhaps this is Chalmers approach to undermining Albanese's leadership. You'd be a clown with your pants down to be optimistic about rate cuts next year considering Australia's well behind the eight ball on QT, in conjunction with working towards 2.5 vs 3.
