Low US inflation, Lowe’s go slow, China borrows to grow

Thursday 11th March 2021The US 10 years notes auction this morning was a little softer than anticipated, but saw yields higher than last time. But NAB’s Gavin Friend says the story of the day was really the softer US inflation numbers, which saw yields pull back and helped stocks rise, with more rotation away from tech stocks. Meanwhile Philip Lowe from the RBA has been pushing back on market pricing, suggesting rates won’t rise until 2024, saying they would need to see wage gains sustainably above three percent. Whilst the RBA concerns are growing pains, the ECB has a different issue, says Gavin, because of their delayed response to the vaccine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
