  Why you should care about US bond yields

  Aug 17, 202630 min

  The yield on thirty-year US Treasury bonds is the highest it’s been in nearly two decades. So why are investors demanding a higher return in exchange for lending money to the US government? And why should Australians pay attention? And as Australian property prices fall, what can we learn from our commonwealth cousins - New Zealand and Canada - about the risks of a bursting property bubble? We also answer another listener question - this time about bankrupt businessman Jon Adgemis.

  New wages for gig workers

  Aug 17, 202632 min

  Host Carrington Clarke is back in the hosting chair to discuss the news that some of Australia’s gig workers now have a new safety net in place - with a new wage floor and insurance protections that come into effect today. But how will this affect the hundreds of thousands of independent contractors across the country? And what will it mean for delivery costs? And national preliminary auction clearance rates are the highest they’ve been in months. Does this mean the property market is starting to strengthen? Or is the picture more complicated? And we answer a property-related listener question. Carrington Clarke and ABC News Business Editor Michael Janda break it all down on ABC Business Daily. Got a burning business question?

  The farm kid behind virtual fences

  Aug 14, 202631 min

  What if farmers could herd cattle with a swipe of their smartphone? Craig Piggott, founder and CEO of tech company Halter, has done just that - developing cattle collars that let farmers manage their herds via virtual fences. Craig joins Alan to talk about growing up on a New Zealand farm, how the collars work, why company culture is so important to the startup, and after expansions to the US and Australia, which worldwide markets Halter has its sights set on next. And Alan asks whether Halter's collars can help stem generational attrition in farming families. Craig Piggott, founder and CEO of Halter, joins Alan Kohler to unpack it all on That's Business with Alan Kohler. Got a burning business question?

  Aug 11, 202620 min

  Commonwealth Bank earnings are in – and in the billions – an increase from last year’s results that exceeds expectations for the banking behemoth. But what to make of the dip in mortgage applications that CBA and other banks are reporting? And how are the banks, and the RBA, looking at persistently weak productivity in the Australian economy?
