Macro Perspectives
The central banks in the UK (BoE) and eurozone (ECB) did as expected - raising rates another half a point, respectively.
We now have the Fed at 4.75%, the Bank of England at 4% and the European Central Bank at 3%.
As we discussed yesterday, Jerome Powell gave plenty of signals that the Fed has finished the job on the inflation fight. After all, the Fed has now successfully raised rates ABOVE the rate of inflation (above core PCE).

Disclosure: The model consumes a fair amount of computing power for a one man band (me) to run on an unlimited range of tickers. As such, I will cap it’s release to the first 30 people. Click on the link below for more information.
PS: For more examples, leave a comment or shoot over an email with 3 to 5 tickers of your choice, and I’ll send back a chartbook of the models findings from the year 2022.
