It’s been a quiet night with very little data to excite market traders, but that could all change from tonight as Janet Yellen and Mario Draghi speak at the economic symposium at Jackson Hole. Phil Dobbie asks NAB’s David de Garis whether anything new is likely to be said – is it worth staying up for in other words. They also discuss the plight of the British economy on the back of fresh migration and GDP data overnight. Plus the two chances of a US government shutdown, with the threats over the wall and the danger of the debt ceiling not being raised in time.
