It's really all good The family business has been running for about 24 years and despite the competition, the buying power has never been better. Battled through the days where our dollar was worth less than 1/2 of the US$, was painful, but we survived. I'm sure your family will love the holiday to The US and Disneyland, especially the kids

So are there any economic minds superior to my own that can explain what effect the announcement expected Wednesday US time by the US federal reserve is likely to have?

Yup, Reserve Bank raised interest rates by 0.25% and Commonwealth bank raised it by a further 0.20%...Their customers were spitting chips on talk back today.
