    During the first few days of August there have been several significant economic updates:

    • The Bank of England began its rate-cutting cycle by cutting the official rate by 0.25%
    • The Bank of Japan raised rates (to 0.25%) and announced a reduction in its bond buying program.
    • Australian core inflation fell marginally, and;
    • There was a softer than expected US jobs report.

    Whilst economic growth data has been choppy recently, in aggregate it has remained consistent with a moderate, if slowing, global expansion.

    This view was called into question last Friday with the relatively weak US unemployment data release and this was a key catalyst in market participants calling expectations of a “soft landing” into question.

    As a result Shane and Chris walk through the events of the week, our views, and what this means for client portfolios.
