The Inflation Reduction Act is a weird name for an act that does nothing but boost American inflation.

Economists say Australia shouldn’t try to transition to net zero by aping the mammoth US...

Personally I am not concerned about inflation. Yes, there might be a little volatility but for me rates are the biggest concern. And I think that goes for the majority of house owners. Housing transactions and housing starts are rock bottom and its ...

ECB’s Stournaras: Have To Cut Rates Twice Before Summer Break

Agreed, I think - at least for europeans - the current interest environment hurts badly. Reducing rates by .25 will not make people jump out buying all kind of unnecessary chinese plastic. I think it will take even longer for reduced rates to come ...

ECB’s Stournaras: Have To Cut Rates Twice Before Summer Break

Actually Greece is not doing so bad. I have been long Greece for a long time and thats been a good bet. But you are right that EU as such is in a bad bad shape and I just dont trust that we have the CB to cope with the issues that we are facing. ...

ECB's Holzmann: Rate Change May Be In Preparation

She might as well have said ECB remain data dependent. And the data we are looking for is FED to move. Economy remains weak? How is that? If it wasnt for the Novo Nordisk slim pill and Rheinmetall we would all be in trouble. But luckily Novo keep ...

ECB’s Lagarde: Economy Remains Weak

Monetary policy decisions

They still dont get it. Even when their own projections show less than 2% inflation they fail to deliver (:

Monetary policy decisions
