Words of caution from Bullard and Powell. NAB’s Rodrigo Catril talks to me about the market reaction on today’s Morning Call podcast, plus the risk-off mood that has driven new lows in European bond yields.
Quiet day on the markets ahead of the G20. As NAB’s Tapas Strickland suggests, even Trump’s introduction of further sanctions against Iran has had no influence. There’s not been a lot of data, but what there was wasn’t good.
Libra isn’t a grab for power by Facebook. Steve Keen argues it’s a welcome challenge to the traditional banking sector.
Mildly better than expected economic data lifted the Euro at the end of last week, but NAB’s Ray Attrill says its not enough to change the ECB’s dovish tone. Plus the US and China turn up the rhetoric ahead of the G20 meeting at the end of this week.
On The morning Call podcast NAB’s Alex Stanley talks through the strong reaction to yesterday’s Dovish Fed, with bond yields continuing to call, the US dollar down and equities continuing to rise.
The lowdown from the Fed meeting and Powell’s press conference, from NAB’s David de Garis. That’s the first of three central bank meetings today. Plus, an important speech from the RBA’s Philip Lowe. And could Boris delay Brexit?
Big moves in European bonds as Mario Draghi finally talks about ECB stimulus, upsetting President Trump in the process. Phil Dobbie talks to NAB’s Gavin Friend about this sudden turn, the FOMC meeting tomorrow and rising equities on thawing of relations between the US and China.
All eyes are on Portugal today to see what Mario Draghi says at the ECB Forum. NAB’s Ray Attrill talks about that on today’s podcast, plus the surprise fall in US manufacturing numbers.
The EU is struggling right now. The Bundesbank has downgraded its 21019 GDP forecast from 1.6% down to 0.6%. The Italian government is being threatened for breaching the EU’s spending rules. Yellow vests protestors have been out on the streets of Paris for 31 weeks now, fighting against inequality. This week the European Central Bank meets to determine how to boost the bloc’s economic growth. But, Phil Dobbie asks Prof Steve Keen, isn’t it time for a fundamental rethink of how the EU is structured and operates? With reforms to the EU, would Brexit have been necessary?
