EDEN, Australia/SYDNEY - The peak summer holiday period should bring boatloads of cruise-ship passengers and other holiday makers to the Australian coastal town of Eden, with visitors thronging stores like Lynn Baxter’s newsagent.
“It’s a seasonal town,” Baxter told Reuters from behind the counter of her shop, adding that income was down 85-90%. “The fires have come at a time when there was already a lot of uncertainty about Australia’s economic outlook,” AMP’s Sydney-based head of investment strategy Shane Oliver said in a telephone interview.
The downturn prompted three rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia last year to an all-time low of 0.75%. Financial futures now imply a 50-50 chance of a fourth easing next month. [AU/INT]
