It\u2019s been quite a session in the UK, with the IMF reprimanding the government over it\u2019s budget, and the Bank of England suspending its quantitative tightening, instead switching to buying longer end bonds in a move to protect pension funds. What\u2019s all this doing to the UK\u2019s credibility? NAB\u2019s David de Garis talks through the events from London. In the US equities have bounced back, even though central banks show no sign of stepping back on their hawkish stance. The war in Ukraine is showing signs of escalation, with Russia now accused of sabotaging gas pipelines in the Baltic and the EU promising more sanctions this Friday. But Australia, for now, is avoiding the worst of the declines, with retail sales holding up, at least in terms of money spent. Today inflation and jobs vacancies for Australia will be keenly watched.
