If Chinese manufacturing production is redirected then that redirection uh will be finding alternative markets, uh probably at a uh lower price um to achieve that re redirection and obviously uh Australia would be a prime beneficiary there.

Um but if you're in a country that is retaliating to tired tariffs, that you are lifting up tariffs and then it obviously increases your domestic costs there.
matched
Um the other factor to keep in mind is capital.
matched
capital uh capital imports.
matched
Um with tariff flows especially on capital goods um going to to and fro between different countries um and getting different tariff rates, it could be the cost of capital goods increases um quite quite materially, whereas the cost of consumer goods uh perhaps doesn't increase as as materially.

There's a really interesting uh policy statement there, and at least when you look at market reaction, you'd have to say uh although the Ubyan Z did cut, it was uh more hookish than what many people had expected.
matched
And you look at the two year swap rate, it rose by as much as fourteen basis points.
matched
It closed up just under eleven basis points for the day at three point two seven percent.
matched

matched
But the um more interesting bit is uh with Governor Hawkesbury um he uh didn't really have a policy bias.
matched
And I think that's really, really interesting uh in this environment.
matched
Uh and so they're really looking to maintain full option optionality on the policy outlook.
matched
Uh when when you look at market pricing at the moment, uh another twenty-five basis point rate cut is fully priced with a small chance.
matched
chance of an additional cut with terminal close to two point nine five percent.
matched
But overall, um the statement was probably a little bit more hawkish than what m markets were probably thinking.
