澳洲央行在6月的政策會議上考慮是否需要進一步提高利率來控制通脹，但最終決定保持現狀，部分原因是擔心勞動市場的急劇放緩風險。會議記錄顯示，澳洲央行認為可能需要進一步提高利率，以達到通脹2-3%目標帶，但由於通脹目前達到4.0%，因此保持利率不變。央行認為，儘管通脹預計將在2026年回歸目標，但風險仍然存在，包括就業市場的下行風險。

On July 1, 2024, President Biden harshly criticized the Supreme Court's ruling favorable to Trump. The ruling may grant Trump immunity protection as president, leading Biden to criticize the potential of Trump overriding the law. The ruling stated that actions conducted by a president in office, based on constitutional authority, are protected by immunity, but actions undertaken in a personal capacity are not.

This statement by Biden marks his first address at the White House since a recent poor debate performance, as his administration attempts to shift focus back to Trump amidst concerns about Biden's ability to serve another four years.
