Hawkish Holds and a War Nobody's Priced In

Vincent Deluard joins Harry on LiveSquawk's Market Talk to break down a pivotal week for global markets as the US-Israel-Iran conflict reshapes the macro landscape. The discussion unpacks the Fed's defiant hold — and why Powell's resistance to White House pressure made it the most hawkish FOMC in months without a single rate move. They examine the "Taco Trade" paradox, where equities near record highs and Brent crude at $109 are raising the question of whether investors are dangerously under-pricing a prolonged energy shock. The episode also covers the Bank of England's surprise 9-0 unanimous hold, soaring Gilt yields, and stagflationary pressures boxing in the ECB. The conversation closes with a look at resilient US consumer data — from TSA highs to OpenTable records — and what global PMIs, UK and Australian inflation prints, and Germany's IFO index could mean for central banks weighing their next move.Follow Vincent on X: https://x.com/VincentDeluardTry our 24-hour news squawking service for FREE! 👇 ⁠https://www.livesquawk.com/#sign-up⁠Follow us on X: ⁠https://x.com/LiveSquawk
