M&A Rumour and Activity
The Australian market was down over the week with the S&P / ASX100 ending at 4545 points. The Australian dollar increased over the
week as European Central Bank cut rates, closing at US93.3 cents. The ECB cut its main refinancing rate by 10 basis points to 0.15 per
cent and its deposit rate from zero to -0.10 per cent. European banks will now need to pay the European Central Bank to hold its
reserves. The European Central Bank has become the first major central bank to have a negative deposit rate while offering €400 billion
in cheap, fixed-rate loans to lenders. RBA has decided to keep the cash rate at 2.5 percent for the month of June; the rate has now
remained unchanged for eight consecutive board meetings.
