Last Week
- ECB raised rates by 50 basis points, its first hike since 2011. The ‘jumbo’ hike is synonymous with large hikes elsewhere, leading to fears that central banks will over-reach in the battle against inflation, increasing the risk of recession.
- UK inflation continues to rise; the data was released at 9.4%, up from 9.1% in May.
- China’s holdings of US debt drop below $1 trillion for the first time in 12 years, as China looked to diversify its foreign reserves ahead of Fed rate hikes.
- Russia drops interest rates by 150 bps – larger than expected, as it battles with a strong currency, cooling inflation and a possible recession on the horizon.
