Threat..


The U.S. military responded to recent missile launches from North Korea by flying two supersonic bombers alongside South Korean and Japanese warplanes.

Who is threatening who? And what for... More Inflation?

Weakening..

 

The Wharton finance professor, Jeremy Siegel, in his weekly commentary for WisdomTree on Monday, rejected Jim Bullard's suggestion that interest rates may need to reach 7% to beat back inflation. Siegel said he had no idea what data the St. Louis Fed chief has been looking at.

In response to inflation surging to a 40-year high this year, the Fed has hiked rates from near zero in March to a range of 3.75% to 4% today, in a bid to cool demand and slow the rate of price increases. 

The US central bank has signaled rates could peak above 5%, as it continues to see inflation as a serious threat.

However, Siegel flagged evidence of dwindling inflation and a weakening US economy in his commentary. He pointed to recent data for producer prices, retail sales, employment, and home sales.
