The US payrolls numbers on Friday showed strong jobs growth, which surprised markets pushing bond yields higher and weakening the US dollar. And NAB’s Tapas Strickland says the ISM Services number adding to the view that the Fed might have to do more to contain US inflation. Could we see two more 25 bp hikes form the Fed before they pause? And does thus change the stance of central banks globally, including the RBA tomorrow. The expectation is there will be a 25-basis point hike tomorrow and again in March, but could the terminal rate be higher given the prospect of global inflation proving harder to contain.
