Australia’s Inflation Bombshell: RBA Cuts Wiped Off Table as Markets Recoil

The broad pickup meant both headline and core inflation are at or above the top of the RBA’s 2–3% band reuters.com bloomberg.co.jp.

  • Keel Infrastructure Drops $447 Million, Matching Net From June Notes
    July 2, 2026, 1:57 PM EDT. Keel Infrastructure shares fell 13.66% to $4.64, wiping out about $447 million in market value-almost the same as the $445.4 million the company brought in from its June convertible note deal. The move comes just three days after Keel joined the Russell 3000 index. The notes pay 1.25% and convert at $7.41 a share, well above where the stock trades now. Keel is moving from bitcoin mining to bigger bets on data-center and energy projects. Investors point to rising funding costs and worry over cash burn and valuation. Keel said it had $533 million in liquidity as of May 8, counting cash and unencumbered bitcoin, with note proceeds earmarked for several projects.
