Listen Later

Markets are rallying near record highs despite weak job data and rising unemployment in Australia. Diana and My explore sector shifts in the ASX, why the RBA held rates in July, and what soft wage growth and falling job ads signal for the economy.

They also cover global trade tensions, new U.S. tariffs under Trump, Japanese rice inflation and Trump’s cane sugar push for Coca-Cola. Plus, analysis of the RBA minutes and why more rate cuts should be on their way.
