Last Week

  • In a bid to tackle inflation, the BoE raised interest rates by 0.25%, increasing rates to 1% – their highest level since 2009. The US Federal Reserve, also citing concerns about inflation, announced a 0.5% hike.
  • The Fed has not delivered a rate hike on this scale in more than two decades. Markets responded sharply: a collapse in technology stocks caused the Nasdaq to slump, while the yields on US Treasuries climbed to multi-year highs in just a day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 3%, the Nasdaq fell 4.7%.
  • Sterling fell to its lowest level against the dollar in nearly 2 years after dropping 2.2% on Thursday.
  • The U.S. dollar hit 20-year highs and world stocks fell towards their lowest in over a year on Friday as markets anticipate more U.S. rate rises. Meanwhile Asian stocks fell on worries about the hit to growth from China’s zero-COVID policy.
  • The U.S. created 428,000 non-farm jobs in April, more than forecasted, bringing the labour force back ever closer to its pre-pandemic level. Unemployment stayed at 3.6%, while the average hourly earnings rose 0.3%.
