Chris Gosselin, CEO of FundMonitors.com, speaks with Nicholas Chaplin, Director and Portfolio Manager at Seed Funds Management, and Renny Ellis, Director & Head of Portfolio Management at Arculus Funds Management.

The discussion centres on Australia's latest inflation figures and whether the RBA should hold rates steady ahead of the federal budget. Nick and Renny broadly agree the central bank should wait for more data, while weighing the risks that temporary inflation pressures from energy and geopolitical uncertainty could become more persistent.
