About this episode

The episode discusses US core CPI, inflation trends, and an interview with Soni Kumari on nickel supply issues.

Oil rises as Middle East worries grow, so US stocks are down. US core inflation shows higher energy prices are not flowing through to the economy. And China’s factory input prices jump on higher energy costs. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Commodities Strategist Soni Kumari highlights how nickel supply is being affected by tighter rules in Indonesia.
