## Resource

Minimum wage hikes just approved by the Fair Work Commission are throwing a wrench into the Reserve Bank’s inflation-fighting plans, pushing wage growth forecasts higher and risking two more interest rate hikes by November. With global oil price volatility and domestic farming woes adding fuel to the fire, consumers face rising costs while businesses brace for higher labor expenses—potentially triggering a painful economic ripple effect.
