aussiebear Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Some economic trivia: CommSec iPod index: Australia slips eight places Back in November 2008 Australia rocketed to top spot in the CommSec iPod index. That is, it was the cheapest place to buy an [Apple] 8gb iPod nano. But that prominent position simply reflected the sharp slump in the Aussie dollar against the greenback, reducing the US dollar price of the iPod. Despite strong appreciation of the Aussie dollar, the local price hasn't changed, meaning iPods have become more expensive is US dollar terms. Australians could save as much as $20 by buying their iPods on websites in the US or Hong Kong or on holidays in those countries. Cheapest ($US): US $149.00, Hong Kong $150.68 Most expensive($US): Argentina $336.43, Brazil $333.56 http://images.comsec.com.au/newsresearch/a...comparisons.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiebear Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 RBA Signals Tolerance of Currency Gains, Rate Rises Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Australia’s central bank signaled it’s prepared to keep raising borrowing costs and tolerate further appreciation in the nation’s currency to help restrain consumer prices as economic growth strengthens. A “very expansionary setting of policy was no longer necessary, and possibly imprudent,” officials said in minutes of an Oct. 6 meeting, released yesterday in Sydney. Gains in the nation’s dollar, the best-performing this month of the 16 most- traded currencies, “may help contain inflation,” they said. The minutes drove Australia’s currency above 93 U.S. cents yesterday, the highest level in 14 months, as investors bet Reserve Bank Governor Glenn Stevens will boost the overnight cash rate target next month. Stevens unexpectedly raised the benchmark a quarter point to 3.25 percent this month, becoming the first Group of 20 central banker to increase borrowing costs. --------------- New Zealand Immigration Accelerates to Five-Year High Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- New Zealand’s annual immigration growth accelerated to a five-year high in September, adding to signs consumer spending and demand for housing may speed the economy’s recovery from a recession. The number of permanent migrant arrivals exceeded departures by 17,043 in the year ended Sept. 30, Statistics New Zealand said in a report released today in Wellington. That’s up from 15,642 in the 12 months through August and is the most since the period ended September 2004. Reserve Bank Governor Alan Bollard last month said a recovery in immigration is bolstering spending and housing demand, which will underpin economic growth next year. Economists say the pace of the recovery may prompt the central bank to raise interest rates earlier than Bollard has predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
