Division, wherever you look

Thursday 25th May 2023NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABMcCarthy and Biden finished their four hour talks on Wednesday with no resolution on the debt ceiling. Their division over spending continues to concern markets. NAB’s Ray Attrill looks at the market response, with a deal needed by the end of the week to allow time for the legislative process to run its course. There’s division within the FOMC too, evidenced by the latest minutes. There;’s also been a couple of surprises in the last 24 hours – the RBNZ indication that they may have stopped lifted rates, and the UK’s worrying inflation numbers now raising the possibility of a 50bp rate hike next time by the Bank of England. And rate hikes from the RBA might still have a way to go after Philip Lowe’s meeting with legislators.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
