And we actually think that, you know, maybe
the RBA could actually get a small pleasant surprise when we see the full quarterly set of numbers next month.
Yeah, that's right.
So we were at one point thinking that headline inflation would peak at 5% in the second quarter, and now that peak is going to be somewhere in the low fours.
So
um you know quite a quite a significant difference in i guess optically where headline is is peaking and and you know really in terms of the cost of living story here in australia it's actually headline that that matters right because that's meant to be sort of reflective of the the goods and services that the average household uh consume so good news

No, so we think they're done on lifting rates.

I mean, the market's still pricing in around a 30% chance of a hike in August.
