US 10-year Treasury yields hit a two-year high for a short while, whilst equities have been choppy in face of all the uncertainty. How much will the Fed lift rates in March? What will be the end rate? NAB’s Ray Attrill says focus is now also shifting to the actions of the ECB.

Much of the focus today will continue to be on inflation prospects, in the NAB Business Survey and in the NFIB small business survey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
