A really weird week in markets. voice-verified

Quite historic, really. voice-verified

What's going on? voice-verified

Yeah, I mean what you're saying there, the so soft commodities, the wheat, the cocoa, the coffee beans, etcetera going up. voice-verified

Sounds like could be high for longer breakfast costs as well, James. voice-verified

And we might have to be like those CEOs we keep reading about and start ski skipping breakfast in our house and see how that works for us. voice-verified

Okay, James, let's get to our first topic, and we've got some really meaty economic news this week. voice-verified

Australia's economy grew 0.4% in the June quarter, which was a little bit more than economists expected, but it shows Australia's three interest rate hikes are biting and the economy is softening as it should be. voice-verified

James, you had a scary line in your column. voice-verified

You said we're at the point where the central bank will effectively have to choose between a stagflationary voice-verified

environment of low growth and sticky inflation, albeit without a high unemployment, or a recession that drives inflation sustainably back to the central bank's two and a half percent target. voice-verified

I mean, do you think that's right? voice-verified

Are we really staring at stagflation or recession? voice-verified

Because they're two scary words. voice-verified

I like the way you put those, James. voice-verified

Government spending, AI spending, and then the boomers uh spending, it's it's gonna be hard to get on top of. voice-verified

But the headline number for the quarter, 0.4% economic growth. voice-verified

It hides a lot, doesn't it? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Beneath that number, things were bouncing around a lot. voice-verified
