Thursday 24th August 2023NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABBond yields pushed lower on the back of weaker than expected PMI umbers, particularly in the UK and Europe.

Equities rose sharply, presumably on the prospect of less in the way of hikes from central banks. But JBWere’s Sally Auld says that’s unlikely in the case of the Bank of England, given inflation and wage pressures are still strong. Does this mean they will have to force the country into recession? The Aussie dollar has benefited from the yield and currency moves today, but it doesn’t change the outlook. And shares will be buoyed further by a stronger than expected result from NVIDIA, beating analysts’ forecasts for Q3. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
