RBA Meeting minutes Dec 2010
12:01 PM (AEST) The RBA minutes of the Monetary Policy meeting two weeks ago have been released and again are a very good overall assessment of both Australian and International markets and well worth a read if you have time. The link is copied below. Exchange rates are pretty much unchanged.
In short the RBA see strong signs continuing in major commodity markets of India and China, modest growth in the US and acknowledge the seemingly ever present threat of further disturbances in the European debt markets. Domestically the manufacturing and consumer sectors remain cautious, but overall business confidence is high and the labour market is strong. On balance they see they cash rate at 4.75% as appropriate,and mildly restrictive.
