Central Banks In Wonderland!

The Bank Of Canada lifted rates by another 25 basis points, to try to tame inflation (while extending its expectation of above target rates of inflation) , the Bank of England spoke about households stress and financial stability, while in Australia all the focus was on the structure and frequency of board meetings. Talk about deck chairs on the Titanic!

The Inflation Headfake: Or Something More?

The latest US data on CPI, jobless claims, inventory and producer prices are all signaling potentially lower inflation. Yet the markets still hold to their view of a hike this month in July, as signaled by the FED, and possibly another later.

So what’s going on?

Another Visit Down The Rabbit Hole: On Inflation

I go down the rabbit hole with George to discuss inflation, what really caused it and what needs to be done to fix it. We cover the role of central banks, global non-elected non-government entities, and cbdc.

As always these chats will question some underlying assumptions and some will find that disturbing…

Thanks to George for the edit.

Good News Is Bad News Again, As Rates Push Higher…

Once again, good news is bad news, as overall the US economy looks strong than expected, and the US economic surprise index kept by Citi, which tracks how much incoming data is exceeding or lagging expectations, jumped to its highest in more than two years. But this leads to the thought that rates will have to go higher, forcing markets lower.

Shares closed lower in New York, reversing earlier gains, in light volume on Friday. While the June jobs data helped to ease some concerns about the interest rate outlook, it also provided further justification for a July increase.

The U.S. economy added jobs at a slower-than-anticipated pace in June, but labor conditions remain largely tight as Federal Reserve officials prepare for an upcoming interest rate decision later this month.

Banks Behaving Very Very Badly: With Robbie Barwick

An important discussion about Banking Culture with Citizens Party Research Director Robbie Barwick. Despite the progress from the Senate Inquiry into branch closures, some banks (we name them) are doing the wrong thing.

Why? Because they can and because they have powerful political influence (for now).
