Dollar not so mighty, job claims rising, Trump has envelopes ready.

Friday 13th June 2025NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABProducer prices in the US, just like CPI, seem to have had very little impact from tariffs so far. But jobless claims are rising.  NAB’s ray Attrill says the continuing claims are similar to recession levels. All the more reason for the Fed to cut rates - but not the 2% that President Trump is now looking for. Meanwhile the President has reminded everyone that he is serious about tariffs, with envelopes ready to send to trading partners with their own bespoke tariff. That helped push the US dollar down to a two-year low. Trade and tariffs will undoubtedly be talked about at the G7 summit that kicks off this weekend in Alberta, Canada. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
