Interest rates are firmly in the spotlight as debate about inflation and the cost of living ramp up ahead of the upcoming Federal Election.
This week's Smart Investing provides an introduction to interest rates and how they affect investments, as well as a closer look at the reasons behind the Reserve Bank of Australia's recent rate hike. Lastly, we also explain why fixed income investors need not fret in times of rising rates and why bonds remain an essential portfolio diversifier.
