  • US President Donald Trump has reportedly paused all military aid to Ukraine following his clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.

The article from The Nightly discusses the anticipation surrounding the release of the minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) recent meeting, which resulted in an interest rate cut. The RBA's decision to lower the cash rate to 4.1% was unexpected, leading to speculation about the economic indicators and internal discussions that influenced this move. Analysts and market watchers are particularly interested in understanding the RBA's rationale, especially given the backdrop of persistent inflation and economic slowdown signals. The minutes are expected to shed light on whether the rate cut was a response to fears of an impending recession, a strategy to boost economic activity, or a reaction to global economic pressures. Additionally, the article touches on the political reactions to this decision, with various stakeholders expressing their views on how this might affect consumer spending, business investments, and overall economic stability in Australia.
