Australian central bank cuts key interest rate to 0.1%

 CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s central bank on Tuesday cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.15 of a percentage point to a record low 0.10% in a bid to lift the economy from a pandemic-induced recession.


The move was the first since March when the Reserve Bank of Australia board made two cuts of a quarter of a percentage point each two weeks apart.


The Reserve Bank also announced it would buy 100 billion Australian ($70 billion) of government bonds of maturities of around five-to-10 years over the next six months.


The bank is prepared to buy bonds in whatever quantity is required to achieve a 3-year yield target of 0.1%, Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe said in a statement.

7 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Laser Tattoo Removal

Image
Hello All, My relationship with tattoos goes way back. I have been getting them for years now. However, every once in a while I feel like changing the design a bit. So I talked to my artist about a cover-up. He told me that it would be better to go for fading with the help of laser therapy so that the new design gets highlighted. However, I was concerned about the pain and scarring rumours that I had heard over the years. Anyway, I met with a laser technician and he told me that these were all myths and there was no scarring and only a little discomfort during the procedure. I got to know a lot about the treatment and thus am sharing an article that will help you clear your doubts. https://www.freshskincanvas.com.au/7-things-everyone-gets-wrong-about-laser-tattoo-removal/

 Hey There, When I was getting my tattoo, I was in a different state of mind. I asked the artist to add as many colours as possible. So, my tattoo had seven colours. However, down the line, I started hating the vibrant and in-your-face colours. I wanted to get rid of them, but the creams did not seem to work. So, I decided to visit a laser skin clinic. However, I was sceptical about the ink colours since there were too many. I was told it will be a challenging process and will take time. But I got the results I wanted. Colours can impact the treatment and here is an article that will describe it in detail.  https://www.freshskincanvas.com.au/what-colour-tattoo-is-hardest-to-remove/
