Description
Australia’s central bank braces for a rate decision amid two surprise inflation drivers: Middle East turmoil jacking up oil prices and the AI boom pushing tech gadget costs through the roof. As fuel bills climb and cutting-edge chips power everything from phones to AI systems, inflation is heating up from unexpected angles.

The next moves could shape the economy for months.
