Key Quotes
“Non-farm payrolls Friday (+173k + revisions) had enough good news to support the Sept hike camp but TD takes a different view, where “we continue to expect the Fed to take a pass on raising rates in Sept as they assess the fallout on growth and inflation from the sharp drop in energy prices, the rising dollar and … Chinese and global growth uncertainties”.”
“No-one really expects much from the G20 and this past weekend was no exception. Talk of not participating in “competitive devaluations” was only really aimed at China, while actions taken by the BoJ, ECB, U.S. Federal Reserve, in recent years doesn’t count apparently.”
