On this week's episode of the Macrocast, Tony, John, and Brendan are joined by John Dick of Civic Science and Mark Sobel of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum. The group starts by discussing the increasing divergence between market economic fears and positive U.S. consumer sentiment. The quintet then talks about recent bond market volatility and central banks worldwide hiking rates before ending the episode by touching on historic dollar strength, and how global policymakers should respond.
