Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global ForEx and Editor of Marc To Market joins us to take a big picture look at US inflation data, central bank policies and what’s actually driving financial markets. 

The discussion begins by examining the recent U.S. inflation data, focusing on trends reflected in the CPI and PPI indices. Marc elaborates on the Fed's likely rate cut next week despite current economic indicators remaining fairly strong. The conversation further explores the potential impact of impending tariffs under the new administration and how they might influence inflation. 

Marc shares insights into interest rate dynamics, emphasizing the relationship between short-term and long-term rates, and discusses the strength of the U.S. dollar in comparison to other major currencies. 

On the market front we delve into geopolitical factors affecting global markets, including recent political instability in Europe and Asia. Looking forward, Marc outlines what economic data and market trends investors should be mindful of as we head into the new year.
