Thursday March 18th 2021The Fed has upped its growth expectations for the US economy, driven by the fiscal support and the vaccine rollout. But Fed Chair Powell says they are still expecting to keep interest rates low through to 2023, and they are not even talking about starting to talk of tapering of their QE activity anytime soon.

Plus, what to except from NZ GDP this morning, and Australia’s labour market data from the ABS today.
