Show Notes
Australian households face rising petrol bills due to Middle East conflict, with potential fourteen-dollar weekly increase if prices reach one hundred dollars a barrel. Markets remain relatively calm, with local share market dipping just zero point two percent. Strait of Hormuz remains a concern, but experts dont anticipate long shutdowns. Economists predict a sixty percent chance of limited war, with a forty percent risk of bigger disruptions pushing prices to one hundred fifty dollars a barrel. Higher fuel costs could boost inflation and slow spending, acting like a tax on households, while the Reserve Bank is likely to hold interest rates steady amid uncertainty.
