Reserve Bank of Australia Might Increase Interest Rates

Reserve Bank of Australia assistant governor Guy Debelle said today interest rates were likely to rise further but noted that higher levels of household debt meant changes to monetary policy had a larger impact than in the past.
The central bank raised official rates earlier this month by 25 basis points to 4 per cent.Along with this news there is also an update that RBA has asked Australian Bureau of Statistics to try to prepare monthly reports on inflation.The RBA has presented the ABS with its wish list and published it today. And top of the list is the call for the quarterly series to be produced monthly.The RBA wants a seasonally adjusted CPI as well.

RBA said its submission to the ABS ‘‘The Bank is strongly of the view that a monthly CPI constitutes best practice, and that more frequent data on prices would assist in the assessment of inflation trends in the economy,’’

Best Portfolio Tracker For Indian Market : NDTV Profit OR Moneycontrol?

When we talk about online portfolio tracker for indian stock market, moneycontrol and NDTV ‘s portfolio manager comes in mind. So we decided to write a review and comparison post on them.
Rating: ★★★½☆

NDTV portfolio tracker is a good looking online software

Bad : Misses adding additional expenses like brokerage commission and other charges.We were also missing some technical analysis charts.But you can track them at http://beta.profit.ndtv.com/

Good : Fast, Visual graphs for better understanding,can import your stocks data from moneycontrol or from Excel sheet CSV.We personally liked the news delivered by them within portfolio,

It shows sector name automatic calculations of gain and loss in percentage.Latest news
related to your stock.You can download the data in CSV format or can view easily by checking
transaction details.Along with stocks you can track all of your investments like mutual funds
bonds and realty along with jewellery ,cash and others.You can keep stocks in watchlist also.Email alerts Set and receive intelligent alerts on stocks or mutual funds of your choice. Also you can track the SIP of your Mutual funds.

Ease of use, intuitive interface and ability to track Equity, MF and Bullion simultaneously with SIP in MF are important features. However, reliability of data already entered, security and alerts/watchlist are also equally important.
Rating: ★★★★☆
