    Higher interest rates for all of us seem guaranteed.
    The current bout of inflation is very sticky and IMO, the RBA can wave good bye to 2% inflation for at least a couple of more years.

    The Reserve Bank's 4.1 per cent cash rate is the highest since May 2012, but the U.S. Fed's equivalent funds rate is at 5 to 5.25 per cent, the highest since 2006.


    A bigger spread between Australian and American interest rates can weaken the Australian dollar - now at a below-average 67 U.S. cents - and make imports more expensive, adding to inflation.
