Show Notes

While markets seem to be thinking about coordinated rate cuts next year, the truth is, economies are in very different positions, with New Zealand already looking stagflationary, and the ECB and the Bank of England not sharing the rate cut love exhibited by the FED. Norge Bank lifted this past week, and the RBA is still not close to a cut. So we think the inflation poker game is fragmenting. The results will still be higher rates for many, for longer than the markets are signalling. http://www.martinnorth.com/ Go to the Walk The World Universe at https://walktheworld.com.au/
