July and August inflation in Australia is highest since 1990


Due to inflation rising at its quickest rate since 1990, Australian borrowers will soon see another significant hike in interest rates.

According to new Australian Bureau of Statistics statistics, the consumer price index increased by 7.0% in the year up to July and 6.8% in the year up to August.

Since early in the first Gulf War in December 1990, this was the highest headline inflation rate.

Since inflation is much higher than the Reserve Bank of Australia’s goal range of 2 to 3 percent, borrowers may face another rate increase of 0.5 percentage points in October.

Five consecutive monthly interest rate increases have been handed out to borrowers since May, bringing the cash rate to a seven-year high of 2.35 percent.

The cash rate would reach a nine-year high of 2.85 percent if another 50 basis points were added to it next month.

  8. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
