The Democrats and Republicans reckon they have struck a deal over the US debt ceiling, which involves no growth in non-military government spending next year. The deal, could be voted on as soon as Wednesday, just in the nick of time, although as NAB’s Taylor Nugent pints out, Janet Yellen has revised the date for when the money runs out to June 6th. It’s not a done deal, of course, but we started to see early optimism reflected in markets in Friday and there’s no reason why that wouldn’t continue today, except the US and UK markets are largely closed for public holidays. Friday also showed resilience in US inflation and consumption, which has added to the likelihood of a Fed rate rise next month. Non-farm payrolls on Friday will be a key release for that too.
