  • Lacks better insights and data

    High level, basic talk on topics. Often bring speakers that have little data to support claims. Far from SMEs.

  • Thank you

    This show has been very informative and interesting. I love the style with which the host welcomes listeners to delve deeper into various economic subjects with correspondents and experts. (Also, in my opinion, the recent episode relating to European defense spending was just the right length.)

  • Long form vs Short form

    In answer to the question … longer versions of Econ World or not: Please provide both (as required). The deep dives are well worth the time spent and the shorter versions work too. This is not an “or” decision, it is an “and” opportunity. Thanks for all this deep and valuable information. It is difficult to find information that one can trust … Reuters is a place where I “feel safe”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI at work
Q: How are we seeing AI in the employment data?
AI impacts are currently visible at the task level, with certain occupations showing exposure and others not; young workers face declines in AI-exposed roles while older workers may see wage premiums in high-skill AI-adjacent areas.
The 5% yield
Q: Dan, is a 5% yield on the 10-year note really a problem?
Not a straightforward yes or no; while higher yields imply higher borrowing costs and can weigh on consumption and housing, they also reflect a constructive outlook for growth and investment, and historically 5% has been seen as normal in different economic contexts.
Australia's housing squeeze
Q: What is the outlook for the Australian economy given ongoing rate rises and housing-market weakness?
The economy is expected to slow but still show pockets of resilience, aided by savings post-COVID, strong migration, and a data-center investment boom that supports construction and related activity, even as housing declines weigh on consumer spending and investment.
The Treasury twist
Q: Why might the Treasury insist on the so-called 'Treasury Twist' despite potential conflicts with the Fed?
The Treasury seeks to lower long-term borrowing costs and manage the debt portfolio, but the strategy risks sending mixed signals to markets about the path of inflation and monetary policy, creating a tug-of-war with the Fed over financial conditions.
The Treasury twist
Q: Howard, how is the current bond market environment affecting the Fed's ability to communicate its inflation target?
The Fed's signaling can be complicated by Treasury actions that push longer yields down or up, which can blur what policy is doing versus what the market expects; this raises the stakes for Fed communications, particularly around inflation credibility.
