Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, STANLIB’s Chief Economist, Kevin Lings, touches on China’s sustained economic growth, largely on the back of strong exports as it is selling to other markets and using them as a conduit to the US. He also discusses the 2.7% y/y inflation rate in the US in June, which is likely to escalate above 3% as import tariffs bite. As a result of continuing uncertainty, the US Federal Reserve remains in “wait and see” mode on interest rate cuts.
