More reasons to argue for a 50-basis point rate hike in October, as the latest provisional retail figures came in pretty strong. Much of this is explained by the inflated prices we are paying for things, but despite very low consumer confidence households continue to spend (even if via credit).
So far higher rates are not slowing the pace, hence another jumbo-sized hike is warranted.
