The higher US unemployment doesn’t mean the FED should lower interest rates:
1. Private hiring is steady. It’s no longer expanding, because the economy is adjusting to lower growth, due to Trump’s policies.
2. The fall in public jobs is not swayed by interest rates.

It’s a huge failure for the EU to go back on it’s combustion engine ban for cars from 2035. This will further weaken its regulatory influence and authority in the world.

The US FED will probably lower interest rates this week, but they shouldn’t. Inflation is way above target and the central bank can’t counteract the lasting damage Trump is doing to the economy. It should help the economy adapt to lower growth.

The best of today’s UK budget is no cut in investment, no rise in employer NI rates and no more two child cap, which will cut child poverty significantly. However, there is no big reform of the tax system, just tweaks.

Not since 2008 have US workers been so worried about their jobs. This signals a coming recession, as these expectations are self-fulfilling.

Trump lowers tariffs on certain foods to lower living costs for US consumers. How does that go with his assertion that US consumers don’t pay for his tariffs????

UK pay growth of 4.4% is not pointing to inflation returning to target with non-existent productivity growth. Bank rate should be higher, as it is almost zero in real terms.

You can justify anything with a long reasoning chain, the Fed should not end its sensible QT programme to prop up banks’ profits or those of other market participants. It’s not their role and their tendency to prop up markets makes bubbles so big.
