Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
State Street's Weekly Economic Perspectives highlights a hawkish Fed under Chair Warsh, with the bias towards higher rates, while acknowledging a close call for September. Canadian growth rebounded strongly in Q2, driven by consumption and fixed investment, albeit with volatile trade and inventory contributions. Australian CPI beat expectations, raising the odds of another RBA hike, and Q2 GDP is forecast to rise 0.3% q/q.
