You can almost see how things will play out in slow motion..the Government will spend like crazy, the debt will pile up and then we will end up with a tax review that ends up ripping more money from our hands to pay for a lot of wasteful vote buying projects. As it is now people will eventually have to wait until age 67 to get a pension so that Gillard can run around the country opening new classrooms or so Rudd can build a broadband network that could have been funded entirely by the private sector.

And the RBA looks like it is going to ignore that until it suits them not too. Apparently, in relation to stagflation, a Treasury bod has recently stated: "We are masters of our own inflation rate, we have a floating exchange rate" (see below): http://news.brisbanetimes.com.au/breaking-news-business/global-stagflation-unlikely-treasury-20090603-bv1g.html But whenever any of the powers that be, feel to say they are "masters" of something, I get a bit concerned. And probably even more so when it is a relatively minor global economic player like Oz.

I would guess that the market is going to be held back by the falls in the iron ore and coal prices but if investors can see that the global economy is really starting to recover, then they might just move back into stocks anyway.

It looks like it is holding up at least in the short term. Could this just be good sentiment over the short term or is there something more fundamental about this rally?

There still seems a long way to go before the U.S. economy looks healthy again and can China keep holding up?
