## Resource

Oil jumps to US$118/barrel after Donald Trump suggests blockading the Strait of Hormuz for months. The US Fed holds rates as dissenters oppose an easing bias. And Australian core inflation is below forecasts, but the RBA is still set to hike next week. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Economist Maddy Dunk explains why the RBA is so focussed on inflation expectations, following March’s price data.
