The inflation riddle

FED board Governor Bowman stated during her speech yesterday that “inflation progress slows and possibly halts”, implying that the bank may need to maintain interest rates at their current levels for a longer period of time. As such, the hawkish comments should they be re-iterated by other Fed policymakers could support the greenback.Australia’s Unemployment rate for March which was released in today’s early Asian session came in lower than expected at 3.8% versus 3.9%. The release implies that the Australian labour market may be stronger than expected, and thus could increase pressures on the RBA to adopt a more hawkish tone which in turn could support the Aussie.According to documents filed by Tesla (#TSLA), the company is preparing to ask investors to vote on Elon Musk’s 2018 pay deal to a shareholder vote, following a Delaware court striking the pay package down a few months ago. According to the WSJ, this could set off a bitter battle among investors and governance experts. As such, should tensions increase with the company’s future in doubt, it could weigh on the company’s stock price.Boeing whistleblower Sam Salehpour stated during his testimony to Congress yesterday that he “was ignored. I was told not to create delays. I was told, frankly, to shut up”. The testimony further dents Boeing’s (#BA) safety reputation and culture as such, it could weigh on the company’s stock price.
