| October 10, 2007 | | Spread betting and contracts for differences on interest rates | Spread bets and CFDs on Australian interest rates should keep in mind that they are expected to rise by early 2008. With commodities in Australia going strong, the economy is being driven by expansion. Bloomberg reports on the likely rise in Australian interest rates:
The RBA will raise rates because ``commodity prices keep on
rising,'' Halmarick said. ``We're expecting higher prices in 2008
for coal, iron ore and gold. Those three products alone are over
40 percent of Australia's commodity index.''
