Quick Glance: Plans for New Fighter Jets Delayed Despite Labor's Defense Budget Increase
  • The Albanese government is injecting an additional $50bn into defense over the next decade to extend military reach beyond Australia's shores.

  • While overall spending is increasing, approximately $73bn over 10 years is being freed up by cutting, delaying, or altering the scope of some defense projects.

  • The acquisition of new F-35 fighter jets is postponed by $3bn to keep existing Super Hornets operational longer and invest in long-range missiles.

  • Despite $10bn in savings over 10 years from scaling back new infantry fighting vehicle purchases, the government highlights a net increase of $5.7bn in the immediate four-year budget cycle for defense.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
  • Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

  • Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

  • Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

  • Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.
