Week Ahead - Interest rate anxiety heightened
It's been a turbulent start to the year in the markets and that's unlikely to change as we move into earnings season. Fear of high inflation and accelerated monetary tightening is driving much of the volatility that we're seeing in financial markets over the last couple of weeks and that's unlikely to abate any time soon, with peak inflation still probably ahead of us.
