Now those of you who are fairly fresh from reading about how food price inflation has surged back up again to a 30-odd-year high of 12.5% might wonder how it could be that 'inflation' is apparently coming down? The key thing to look out for in the figures in the coming week will be the breakdown between the so-called 'tradable' inflation and the 'non-tradable' inflation. In basic terms the tradable inflation refers to 'imported' inflation - such as through imports of oil products - while 'non-tradable' inflation refers to domestically generated inflation, such as building costs. In terms of non-tradable inflation, the ANZ economists expect reduced construction cost pressures to be knocking nearly 0.6 percentage points off annual non-tradable inflation. Because it is trying to knock over actual inflation before those inflation expectations are just as ingrained as they were in the 1970s and 1980s.

Chris Hipkins confirmed he's pausing tax changes while he's in office. Documents revealed that Labour had planned to introduce a wealth tax affecting 46,000 New Zealanders, but that plan was ultimately scrapped. NZ Herald political reporter Michael Neilson says Labour's clearly concerned about where they're sitting in the polls- both the Taxpayers' Union - Curia poll and Talbot Mills poll placed Labour below National. "There's a bit of concern about where they are, and obviously Hipkins made the decision- he wasn't going to be able to sell this to the public and maintain a strong party vote." LISTEN ABOVE

US consumer price index (CPI) inflation rose 3% in the June year, down from 9.1% a year earlier. "When you've hiked [interest rates] by 400 or 450 basis points, the current inflation rate, yes it's still important, but it's less additive to your information set. "Certainly there are other policy tools available. But in the absence of somebody else stepping up and delivering those other policy tools, it's up to our central banks that have their inflation mandates. Climate challenges, meanwhile, are "a supply side shock which will tend to boost inflation and will tend to worsen incomes.

'We stung them': All Blacks defuse Springboks' 'Bomb Squad'REACTION: All Black head coach Ian Foster says the way his team dealt with the Boks’ ‘Bomb Squad’ was one of the most encouraging aspects of their win in Auckland. Two months before the World Cup kicks off, the All Blacks grabbed early tries by Aaron Smith and Shannon Frizell to dominate early on. Malcolm Marx and Cheslin Kolbe crossed as the Springboks fought back in the second half before New Zealand’s Will Jordan and Richie Mo’unga touched down late tries. We’ve spoken before about defending leads and they had a lot of experience on their bench in that third quarter. The skipper played down the neck injury which saw him miss the second half: “It was just a precautionary measure.”Sources: AFP and stuff.co.nz

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins ruled out a wealth or capital gains tax under his leadership. But the Herald's "poll of polls" shows that Labour cannot govern without Te Pāti Māori or the Greens. Te Pati Maori launched their campaign last night in a street party in West Henderson. NZ Herald Reporter Joey Dwyer told Tim Dower that Te Pati Maori have said that a tax would help redistribute money held by the two percent, who control 50 percent of wealth. Te Pati Maori Co-Leader Rawiri Waititi says it's about time they pay their taxes to alleviate the pain many are living in, with 100-thousand people homeless - 60-thousand being Māori.
