Overnight, you know, we do see um a a sort of quite short lived but, you know, reasonably large uh spike lower in in that FX cross um that was very short lived and it sort of came back.
matched
So I guess prompting speculation that, you know, maybe the Ministry of Finance was involved again.

Although we did see the finance minister yesterday sort of declining to comment on whether or not uh

They had intervened in FX markets and he sort of preferred to say that markets had seen speculative trading.

So we've got to choose inflation over growth or the other way around.
matched
And and today I think, you know, you know, the RBA will probably uh go the way of choosing inflation and electing to lift rates.
