German GDP fell 0.3% last year, even if they did manage to narrowly avoid a technical recession. Europe’s industrial production also fell in the latest data. Yet ECB members continue to talk down expectations for rate cuts at least until the middle of the year. Phil asks JBWere's Sally Auld about the wisdom of keeping rates higher in an economy that is slowing, and does that explain why markets are out of kilter with the central banks rhetoric?. In the US there will be a air bit of focus on what the Feed’s Christopher Waller has to say on rate cuts. There’s also discussion about why the PBoC didn’t cut their medium-term lending facility. Data wise we see Australia’ s consumer confidence today, along with UK wage data, Canada’s CPI and NZ’s quarterly survey of business opinion. Plus the results of the Iowa Caucus.
