Summary
  • The global economic recovery continues, albeit at
    a moderate pace. This makes it a long recovery.
  • The Australian economy should continue to grow
    well, led in the short term by mining investment.
    The floods will have only temporary effects on
    the macroeconomic data.
  • Interest rates should eventually rise further.
  • The exchange rate is above fair value. The rest
    of the world is on sale for Australians.
  • Share markets are still cheap.
