Forex Market Wrap

The RBA has increased their interest rates from 3.10% to 3.35% this week. Inflation in Australia has continued to rise and the RBA is trying to bring rates higher without affecting homeowners and businesses. 

The Bank of Canada Governor Macklem decided to halt interest rate rises as the central bank tries to prevent householder debt from rising. This may backfire on the central bank as employment figures rose from 104k to 150k beating estimates by 10 times. Employment rising could put further pressures on the inflation rate.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated he was shocked by the recent NFP numbers. Employment in the US came in well above previous expectations causing the Fed to remain flexible in its approach towards rates. Powell had recently talked of the US being in a deflationary environment but jobs data like this could force the Fed into hiking for longer.
