USA looks a bit shaky. Wonder how how long the Fed can stave off a serious collapse.

not sure it will be a collapse; just a suppression of demand and reallocation of scarce resources lol

US stocks tumbled, with the Dow falling 880 points in New York, as faster than expected inflation opens the door wider to higher interest rates. The consumer price index increased 8.6 per cent from a year earlier in a broad based advance, Labor Department data showed. The widely followed inflation gauge rose 1 per cent from a month earlier, topping all estimates. Shelter, food and gas were the largest contributors. The core CPI, which strips out the more volatile food and energy components, rose 0.6 per cent from the prior month and 6 per cent from a year ago, also above forecasts.

It is the BOND market that is doing the damage.  Jerome Powell had carefully telegraphed interest rate rises over four years, but now looks likely to abandon gradualism and move more forcefully to stamp out inflation along with growing concerns that it will persist.

The Fed will announce a decision and publish fresh forecasts at 2pm on Wednesday (4am AEST on Thursday) in Washington. Powell will hold a press conference 30 minutes later.
