Thursday 18th July 2024NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABIt doesn’t take Donald Trump to launch a trade war with China. The Biden administration has threatened further limits on microchip exports to China, which hit tech stocks heavily in the US.

Today we look at the latest New Zealand and UK inflation numbers, and their influence on rate cuts, as well as looking ahead to today’s employment data for Australia.
