In a $US 13,194 bn economy (2006 figures), I figure thats around 1-1.2% of GDP.

Should mean some rising prices in the financial asset markets.

Meanwhile, Australian sentiment moves toward a rate rise.

The inflation story is taking hold in the press and with market participants. Meanwhile Fed Gov are looking for ways to cut spending, looks as though will be through FTB.
