The economy hadn't had a chance to respond to the recent absurd rate cuts when those figures were published.

We won't be able to find anything meaningful about the latest slashes for at least several months.

I predict dangerously high inflation. The RBA will be forced to raise interest rates significantly and we will go further into this inevitable recession.
You predict inflation to increase, yet for us to also go (further) into recession?

How exactly does that work? :rolleyes:

well as you can see im in year 9... so im very confused by the two arguments, can someone tell me whose right???
but i still think that its gonna drop :)
Dis-inflation (a fall in inflation) is not the same as deflation (negative inflation).

The first is generally helpful. The second is a very bad thing and typically associated with depressions (e.g. the Great Depression).

Britain, America and a few other countries are currently entering deflation or significantly at risk of it. Australia is not.

Deflation is bad because it creates an unstoppable cycle of falling prices. You might think cheap is good, but the problem is, people don't buy. They realise tomorrow things will be even cheaper, so they wait.

now examine Glenn Steven's speech:
Glenn Stevens said:
The Australian economy has been more resilient than other advanced economies, but recent data nonetheless indicate that a significant moderation in demand and activity has been occurring. With confidence affected by the financial turbulence and a decline in the terms of trade now under way, more cautious behaviour by both households and businesses is likely to see private demand remain subdued in the near term. With that outlook, and with capacity pressures now easing, it is likely that inflation in Australia will soon start to fall. Global disinflationary forces will assist in this regard, though the depreciation of the exchange rate means that the decline of inflation to the target could take longer than would otherwise have been the case.

Yeah cause Glenn Steven's is totally impartial and has no motivation to understate the risk of inflation after slashing interest rates.

FFS, even he concedes "the depreciation of the exchange rate means that the decline of inflation to the target could take longer than would otherwise have been the case."

Do you have any basis for your strange notion that a recession will increase inflation, or that inflation will cause/worsen a recession?

Inflation is due to excess consumption and growth. That's kind of the opposite of a recession, mate.

Your options:

(1) Pay some maladjusted hack from bos to feed you halfbaked misunderstandings.

(2) Avail yourself of the mass of free information available on the internet.

What specifically do you want to know about, anyway?
