Most pundits have already factored in an interest rate rise this month, with another one expected before the year is out.

Doing a google news search for "australian interest rates" for example yields no less than 2,730 stories in the last week!

However, some economists (notably the Challenge Bank's Dr Ron Woods - no relation to the Rolling Stones' guitarist) have pointed to the freak banana and petrol prices being mainly responsible for the recent inflation rise (to 4%).

The Federal Reserve meets today - any announcement on a rise will be at 9.30am AEST tomorrow.

Considered wisdom on the subject is a rise to 6%, the highest rate since mid 2000.

Good luck to all clients & offices who are up for a Sales Award at the Annual REIWA Awards Night this month.

With the start of the new financial year, remember that those of you who feed from our system to REIWA (and that's around 70 offices), entering your sales evidence through aussiehome.com 'Client Zone' will get this information to REIWA for the purposes of these Awards and the safe keeping of your Institute.

The more sales evidence that is entered, the more useful the ILS sales evidence becomes.
