Friday 9th JUne 2023NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABThe US dollar has fallen a fair bit, with bond yields down and equities boosted, following a higher than expected jobless claims number in the US. NAB’s Gavin Friend says the markets are reversing some of the early responses to the double shock of rate rises by the RBA and the Bank of Canada. Clearly, the job claims number was used as an excuse to show an economy slowing. But is it an over-reaction? It is if other markets show an equal degree of economic slowdown, which arguably, Europe has done by recording a technical recession in the latest GDP revision. Hosted on Acast.
