Global Data Pod Weekender: Woulda, shoulda, coulda

With the cyclical lift coming into sharper relief and underlying inflation unabated, the pressure is on for central banks to live up to their inflation fighting credentials. Expect growth to decelerate this quarter from the boomy 3Q, perhaps even more than anticipated, but the cycle will be fine so long as labor markets firm as we expect.    Speakers: Bruce Kasman, Chief Economist Joseph Lupton, Co-Head Economic Research   This podcast was recorded on 13 November 2026.

The US labor market delivered a much-needed bounce, trimming the downside risks that had been building as wealth effects and tax cuts were fading in the face of a rising energy shock. The US election will have some macro consequences with respect to the AI build-out, two wars (trade and Iran), and likely budgetary slippage. Risks of tightening financial conditions edge higher, but we end the week feeling better on balance.    Speaker: Bruce Kasman, Chief Economist Joseph Lupton, Co-Head Economic Research   This podcast was recorded on 6 November 2026.

Nora Szentivanyi is joined by Abiel Reinhart and Raphael Brun-Aguerre to discuss the latest global inflation developments. Inflation pressures broadened in September, with both core goods and services inflation moving higher alongside firmer food and energy prices. Risks to the outlook are shifting once again as oil prices fell sharply this week, while a historically intense El Niño is starting to pass through to food prices in parts of EM. We discuss the latest US and Euro area inflation signals and the implications for inflation forecasts and monetary policy.

Incoming news reinforces the message of strength for global growth last quarter, albeit somewhat mixed with the US leading the way. Moderation is expected this quarter but robust profit growth should be the catalyst for a rotation to labor markets perking up. Downside risks can been seen in rising energy shocks, fading wealth effects, and waning fiscal impulses. Central banks remained on hold this week but signaled broadly that hikes are on deck before year-end.

Another surge in energy prices alongside business hiring that has yet to perk up materially raises the same old question: How long can consumers keep spending without real purchasing power? As long as growth is resilient, aided by strong profits and a shift to business spending, central banks will focus on sticky elevated inflation. Next week’s Fed, ECB, and BoJ will stay on hold but single hikes to come, while the BoC starts a hiking cycle.

A strong two quarters of growth comes with geo-divergence and some mixed signals on momentum, raising questions not about the strong past but about the future. A global rotation is projected, with the US downshifting from a boomy pace and growth in the rest of the world strengthening. Against this backdrop, both headline and underlying inflation are firming.   Speakers: Bruce Kasman, Chief Economist Joseph Lupton, Co-Head Economic Research   This podcast was recorded on 16 October 2026.  This communication is provided for information purposes only.
