About this episode

The episode discusses the Australian share market's decline amid rising interest rate expectations and economic data.

The Australian share market finished Friday lower as investors grapple with rising interest rate expectations following stronger than expected economic growth and inflation data. The ASX 200 remains near the key nine thousand point level after declining for three of the month's four sessions. Global bond yields surging, US debt concerns, and upcoming inflation data from both the US and Australia are keeping markets on edge ahead of key central bank decisions. Steve Daghlian and Laura Besarati are Market Analysts at CommSec. Each episode, they break down the day's market movements and explain what the numbers really mean.
