Hike-o-clock?
from Curve Your Enthusiasm · host Royce Mendes, Ian Pollick
In the final episode of 2021, Ian & Royce discuss the widened uncertainty related to new COVID variants. Royce discusses his view on the recent Canadian data, both GDP & jobs, while Ian opines on the potential for the Bank of Canada to deliver earlier-than-expected rate hikes. The two hosts go back-and-forth about the most optimal policy sequencing, specifically whether or not central bankers should shrink balance sheets before delivering rate hikes. The potential for yield-curve inversion is growing, and that may ultimately harm the recovery. Royce finishes the show by discussing how falling energy prices will matter going forward for U.S. inflation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
