Thursday 17th June 2021At the FOMC meeting this morning the Fed upped their growth and inflation forecasts, twit the dot plots pointing to rate rises as soon as 2023. It’s a much more hawkish meeting than had been anticipated although, NAB’s Gavin Friend wonders whether enough has changed in the Fed’s forecasts to warrant such a shift. UK CPI is another indicator that exceeded expectations. We’re getting that a lot lately. Today’s Australian employment data is also discussed in today’s podcast, along with Philip Lowe’s speech in Toowoomba later on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
