  • global economy has slowed
  • global growth still reasonable
  • risks tilted to downside
  • European banks are a potential week spot in global economy
  • markets are pricing in rate cuts in major economies
  • it is legitimate to ask how effective monetary easing would be globally
  • if everyone is easing, the effect on exchange rates is offset
  • more infrastructure investment would benefit the Australian economy
