- In today’s Morning Views publication we comment on developments of the following high yield issuers: Tata Steel, Rakuten Group
- Fed policymakers are uncertain, due to a lack of crucial data caused by the US government shutdown. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said he did not support the central bank’s latest interest-rate cut.
- He noted that “the anecdotal evidence and the data we got just implied to me underlying resilience in economic activity, more than I had expected”, and stated that he can make a case to lower or hold rates in December. Mr Kashkari joins other Fed officials who have expressed scepticism over the need for another rate decrease in December, with some arguing for holding rates steady to balance inflation and weaker hiring in the labour market.
