February 2024
In this newsletter, we see both Australian and US stock markets doing well, with the US market seeing bigger increases. The housing market is also growing steadily, but how much it's growing varies by region. The RBA has kept the interest rate the same, showing it is focused on getting inflation back to target. Enjoy!
