About this episode
The episode discusses the risks associated with the upcoming SpaceX IPO and the differing opinions among economists regarding the RBA's interest rate decision.
After weeks of anticipation, Elon Musk’s SpaceX is finally about to go public at the end of this week - but not before OpenAI also turned heads, with news that it's looking to test the public market. So is there any risk behind the sky-high SpaceX hype? And a week out from the RBA’s next rate decision, economists at Australia’s big four banks can’t seem to agree on the RBA's next move. What's behind the divergence in economic opinion - and is it something we should be concerned about? Carrington Clarke and ABC Chief Business Correspondent Ian Verrender break it all down on ABC Business Daily. You can listen to yesterday's episode of Fuelcast here .
