President Trump is stepping up the pressure on Jerome Powell as he ‘drops by’ the Fed, before heading off to the UK for the weekend. Markets have been a little more concerned about PMIs and central banks, though. The ECB kept rates on hold but, as NAB’s Ray Attrill point out, Christine Lagarde was hawkish in the press conference. Phil asks if he could have seen the last rate cut in this cycle. Meanwhile Michelle Bullock reiterated the cautious approach of the RBA at a lunch in Sydney yesterday. As far as PMIs are concerned, the US did better than Europe, with the UK the clear loser. Today UK retail sales will be of interest, along with durable goods orders in the US. Plus, of course, earnings and tariff news.
