#107 US Job Losses Could Spark Aussie Boom
Manage episode 505278497 series 1254554
In this episode, sponsored by Flexdoc, we discuss the slowdown in the US economy and what it means for property investors here in Australia.
The latest data shows US job growth cooling, unemployment edging up, and business confidence turning lower.
That’s a major signal for the US Federal Reserve, which is now under pressure to cut interest rates to stop the slowdown from tipping into a deeper recession.
Rate cuts in the US don’t just stay in the US. They set the tone for global markets.
When the Fed moves, the Reserve Bank of Australia takes notice. With inflation easing locally and growth already soft, the RBA will have room to follow with its own cuts.
Europe and China are facing the same challenges, which means 2025 could be a year of coordinated global easing.
For Australian property investors, this matters. The first sign of lower rates often sparks confidence. Investors re-enter the market, even before several cuts take place.
Add that to a supply shortage, strong population growth, and tight rental markets, and the outlook for property remains supported.
Listen in as Peter breaks down how global trends shape local opportunities.
