US re-acceleration possible but Aussie dollar weakness expected to continue.

Wednesday 23rd August 2023NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABThe Fed’s Thomas Barkin has warned that strong consumer data from the US lately could mean a reacceleration in inflation is possible although, as NAB’s Rodrigo Catril points out, he also suggested that if inflation does come down then America is likely to see a soft landing. Inflation could rise in Europe for a different reason, if we see a reemergence in rising gas prices. If the temporary peak we are seeing now becomes sustained. A rapid recovery in China looks less likely by the day, but they at least have a plan, for a tech driven future where, supposedly, most of the existing growth is coming from. Still, that’ll take time – part of the reason NAB has revised it’s forecasts for the Aussie dollar. We talk through the revisions on today’s podcast.  Hosted on Acast.
