Exactly.
Yeah.
How much can they quell the market?
Right.
Because I've seen today that those I think you mentioned it earlier as well, that those two year swap rates and other swap rates have gone up.
And so the banks are pricing in those increases to the OCR sooner rather than later.
You know, can they force those back down again?
I don't know from a speech or otherwise.
Or, you know, will they not be able to do much until they republish forecasts in May?
And, you know, if they are a lot more different to the rest of the economists and the market's pricing, then maybe that can have an impact.
But otherwise, yeah, it's hard not to see, you know, those interest rates continuing to grow, forecasts of the official cash rate to rise sooner rather than later.
I'm not saying it's going to happen in April or in May, but certainly it's bringing that forward from maybe not just November, but further forward.
But again, so much to balance up there with the economy as well.
So we'll wait and see on that one.
Certainly, yeah, pay attention to that tomorrow afternoon and
And I'm sure, you know, it'll be covered next week's podcast.
I do have to mention that I won't be in the podcast next week.
I've been called up for jury duty.
So I know you're going to call in our chief economist from Australia, who's pretty good in the global impact side of things, too.
So I'm sure the great chat on everything about that and some of the local things, too.
