About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of recent global GDP data on central banking and economic conditions in various countries.

Will this week’s economic data be enough to keep central bankers from chasing oil prices with rate hikes? Europe was barely positive. Canada bounced back but that’s two up and two down over the last year. Mexico, which, keep in mind, is a proxy for the US, big time contraction. And the US itself missed with weakness all over consumers. All that before the full energy shock weighs in.
