I don’t think the bond market is going to put up with this war much longer. They forced Trump to “pause” on the tariffs last April and they’ll do the same thing with this debacle in the Middle East if it doesn’t end soon. https://t.co/QlSTyYAKGd — QE Infinity (@StealthQE4) May 5, 2026 20Y and 30Y …
The “Impossible Trinity” of Australian economics in 2026: they cannot cut rates because of surging fuel inflation, they cannot hike without crashing the housing bubble, and they cannot ignore the supply chain collapse because they are the last stop on the map.
