Summary
The global economic recovery continues, albeit slowly. The
threat of a double dip in the US is exaggerated. Eurozone
debt is a serious issue, but unlikely to be a game-changer.
The Australian economy should resume strong growth, led by
mining investment.
Rates may eventually rise further.
The exchange rate is above fair value. The rest of the world
is on sale for Australians.
Share markets are cheap.
