The Rate Debate
Ep33: Storm clouds continue to gather in global markets
The RBA hiked rates for the seventh consecutive month as it seeks to stifle inflation. Global central banks continue aggressive monetary tightening despite early signs of moderating inflation and weaker forward growth indicators.

Chris and Darren debate this and more in episode 33 of The Rate Debate.
