![]() ![]() ![]() As well as regular bug fixes without waiting for the next iOS release. I really wish this was its own app on the App Store, so we could have some semblance of feedback. Sometimes it will refuse to play a song in my library, and will move on to the next. It will arbitrarily skip to the next song in the middle of playback. The radio tab is pretty much a giant banner for whatever Apple wants to push, instead of basing it around the user. Radio stations inexplicably play at lower volumes than the rest of the service. This is especially terrible while driving, where playback can stop for other reasons (Like a bluetooth disconnect). The play/pause button just behaves as if I told it to stop, and is unresponsive to my input. Playback will abruptly stop to buffer, but the UI gives absolutely no feedback. Extremely ungraceful handling of spotty cell coverage. ![]() It would make more sense to select top picks from an artist. Its like trying new foods by going to Costco. Playlists are ok, but heavily recommending entire albums is bizarre. There are so my UX problems with it I don't know where to start. “The decay that we’re all expecting in the economy has taken a little longer to arrive, but the high-frequency data suggests that spending patterns are starting to slow quite considerably,” he said.Apple Music is by far the least polished Apple product I use on a regular basis (I'm on a family plan). He now forecasts a rate increase in August instead of June.Ĭharlie Jamieson, co-founder of Jamieson Coote Bonds, believes the RBA has finished its tightening cycle and the jobs data confirmed interest rates were on hold. “While one month does not make a trend, it does give the RBA the option to pause its hiking cycle in June and July, but hawkish risks persist around wages and inflation,” said Josh Williamson, Citi’s chief economist for Australia. Thursday’s softer-than-expected jobs data caused Citi to change its call on the interest rate outlook. The RBA forecasts inflation to only return to its 2 per cent to 3 per cent target by mid-2025. It has raised the cash rate by 3.75 percentage points in a year, the fastest pace in a generation, to quell price pressures. Minutes of the May policy meeting revealed the RBA warned of upside risks to the inflation outlook and indicated it was ready to lift interest rates again. In fact, bond traders have slightly ramped up bets for an increase in the cash rate to 4.1 per cent, ascribing a 64 per cent probability of a move by August, up from 48 per cent before the data. “It would be surprising to see the RBA hike in June after this.” “The unemployment rate seems to show progress towards the RBA’s unemployment forecasts, but this labour market data is volatile from month to month,” said Justin Tyler, founder of bond boutique Daintree Capital. The jobless rate unexpectedly ticked up to 3.7 per cent from its near-five-decade low of 3.5 per cent. The Australian three-year yield added 2 basis points to 3.2 per cent and the 10-year rate also ticked up 2 basis points to 3.5 per cent.Įmployment surprisingly dipped 4300 in April from March, after two months of hefty gains, against forecasts of a rise of 25,000, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed. Government bond yields initially fell before they resumed their onward march tracking US treasuries on optimism over US debt ceiling talks. Some economists have pushed out their expectations for another rate rise to August. The local dollar slipped 0.3 per cent on the day to US66.47¢, having dipped as far as US66.29¢ after the data. The Australian dollar drifted lower after a softer-than-expected jobs report reinforced expectations the Reserve Bank will stand pat on interest rates next month after its surprise increase to 3.85 per cent in May. ![]()
