The cash rate is going higher. It isn’t fear mongering to consider it reaching 5%+ - While it is unpleasant for debt holders to think about, the cash rate is almost certainly going up to at least 4.60% (based on current market pricing). Talking about it reaching 5%+ isn’t someone selling you doom.

Take a look at two fairly comparable countries:
Canada CR 4.75%, CPI 4.4%, unemployment rate 5.2%.

NZ CR 5.50%, CPI 6.7% unemployment rate 3.4%.

Meanwhile: Australia: CR 4.10%, CPI 6.8%, unemployment rate 3.6%

Canada has a higher unemployment rate, lower inflation and only recently hiked from 4.50 to 4.75%.

NZ has a slightly lower CPI and a better rate of unemployment with a cash rate that is 1.4% higher.

I am not here to argue about pain, hurt or fairness. I am posting facts for you to think about next time news.com.au tells you 'surely rates can’t go higher!' because they absolutely can.

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
