This morning, Phil Dobbie talks to NAB’s Tapas Strickland about the continuing rise in oil prices. There was a sharp increase today with increased tensions in the Middle East, particularly after the unrest at the Gaza border. They also look at rising bond yields in the US (where they have tipped the 3 percent yield mark again) and Europe, on the back of comments from ECB’s Villeroy de Galhau. Plus, the widening gap between Kiwi and Aussie currencies and a look ahead to some of today’s data releases.
