Top Market Segment to Watch Out Today:

CRUDE OIL: Oil prices fell for a second day on Monday on fears of lower fuel demand from an expected global recession sparked by rising worldwide interest rates and as a surging U.S. dollar limits the ability of non-dollar consumers to purchase crude.

A stronger greenback tends to curtail demand for dollar-denominated oil since buyers using other currencies must spend more to buy crude.

Economic News:

US: Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic said on Sunday he still believes the U.S. central bank can tame inflation without substantial job losses given the economy’s continued momentum.

“If you look over history … there is a really good chance that if we have job losses it will be smaller” than in past slowdowns, Bostic said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program.

“Inflation is high. It is too high. And we need to do all we can to make it come down,” Bostic said of the Fed’s plans to continue with aggressive interest rate increases meant to slow the economy, bring the demand for goods and services more in line with supply, and lower inflation running at a four-decade high.

How deep and enduring a slowdown is needed – and the job losses that might entail – remains a matter of debate, with Fed officials continuing to argue that companies will be unlikely to lay off workers that have been hard to hire during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Euro Zone: Keir Starmer, leader of Britain’s Labour Party, on Sunday pledged to reverse the abolition of the top rate of income tax, saying tax cuts for the wealthy wouldn’t create economic growth as he made a pitch for power at his party’s annual conference.

Starmer, who has led Britain’s main opposition party for the past two years, said he would reintroduce the top rate of income tax to 45% after the government abolished the rate in a mini-budget.

Labour suffered a crushing defeat in the last general election in 2019 and Starmer is under pressure to assert himself as the prime minister-in-waiting with clear policies to challenge the governing Conservatives.

The selection of Liz Truss as new Conservative leader on a tax-cutting agenda earlier this month has immediately widened the ideological gulf between Britain’s main parties.
