What we're watching
Is inflation spreading?
Roger Hirst looks at the recent break out in crude oil prices and the ongoing squeeze in agricultural products. US inflation may have peaked in H1, but that doesn’t mean it will quickly drop back to ‘normal’ levels. Furthermore, if it continues to spread from durable goods to essentials such as food and energy, then the Fed may have an even harder job on its hands.
In addition to crude oil and natural gas, agriculture – wheat in particular - supply chains have been heavily impacted. Access exclusive market-moving news from Reuters, as well as in-depth analysis and reports written by our in-house analyst teams.
Global sanctions
Sanctions continue to dominate the geo-political landscape in the wake of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict as the war on Ukraine continues.

Sanctions compliance – although it may appear straightforward at first glance – is not always easy to achieve.
