The Bank of England and the Norges Bank both surprised markets, each raising interest rates by 50 basis points. NAB’s Gavin Friend says the mix of higher UK earnings and stubborn inflation numbers yesterday combined to drive this bigger than expected move. The question is, how much further will they go as the UK fights supply chain and labour supply issues and second-round effects? Certainly Jerome Powell is painting a less volatile path for the US economy, where further rate rises will come slowly, if at all. Yet yields are climbing higher again with all this central bank uncertainty, and oil prices have fallen sharply on an expected decline in demand.
