With the August labour market having been released in the US, we provide a reaction on the data, alongside next week’s CPI and potential political pressures which could influence the Fed. In Europe, we focus on the French confidence vote and the ECB meeting on Thursday. In Asia, we talk politics in Japan and ASEAN, and how this may impact central bank policy in the months ahead. Chapters: US: 01:56, Europe: 08:45, ASEAN: 14:54, Japan: 22:29.
