On Tuesday, we had the Reserve Bank of Australia announce a key interest rate cut to an unprecedented 0.1% in conjunction with a $100 BILLON government bond buying program over the next 6 months, as it strengthens its resolve to rescue the Australian economy from its first recession in almost 30 years.
And this morning, news has come out that China has ordered traders to stop purchasing at least seven categories of Australian commodities, including coal, barley, copper ore and concentrate, sugar, timber, wine and lobster, ratcheting up tensions its key trading partner, US, in its most sweeping retaliation yet.

I liken it to Corbyn v Boris on steroids. I reckon if Trump goes on again, he will be so sick of the job that he will do everything possible to get out, that will be the true show maybe even top the Biden leadership. fair dinkum crazy world
Markets also don’t know who they want. It’s all bad so markets up!
go trumpo, go son, go, go , go ,go… ( that’s the whip riding the ole boy home ), Biden’s getting cleaned up for the protest back at the stewards already. Good luck sleeeeeepy.
