Show Notes
Welcome back to A Matter of Interest.
This week, we take a close look at the renewed tensions in the Middle East, the reasons why retail fuel prices remain stubbornly high, and how this stalemate is complicating central banks’ fight against inflation.
We also turn our attention to an unexpected paradox in the tech sector, amid the boom in artificial intelligence infrastructure: why Korean tech stocks are trading at their lowest levels since the aftermath of the financial crisis despite triple-digit earnings growth.
We then head to the United States to analyse the latest macroeconomic data and the Federal Reserve’s FOMC minutes, exploring the shifting dynamics of the labor market and how persistent inflation is forcing policymakers to rethink the path of future rate cuts. Tune in to find out.
