The lagged effects of this flow to local petrol bowsers and on to many parts of the economy provided a disinflationary pulse that hit official inflation data.

Despite inflation still above 6 per cent, investors went diving for safe haven assets, as first US regional lender Silicon Valley Bank and then Credit Suisse collapsed.
