Decision Time For Central Banks & Fidelity Cuts 1000 Of Its Staff
Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
(1) Federal Reserve officials maintained their outlook for three interest-rate cuts this year and moved toward slowing the pace of reducing their bond holdings, suggesting they aren’t alarmed by a recent uptick in inflation.
(2) The Bank of England is likely to keep interest rates at a 16-year high, giving more time for inflationary pressures to cool before it loosens up on the quickest tightening cycle in decades.
(3) Anxious employees at Fidelity International, a globe-spanning business based in Bermuda and run out of London, began eying the door.
(4) The sudden exit of Prime Minister Leo Varadkar leaves Ireland at a crossroads. Unaffordable housing, inequality and political pressures linked to immigration give the nationalist Sinn Fein party an opportunity to take power for the first time in 2025, or sooner.
(5) Reddit and its selling shareholders raised $748 million, pricing shares in an initial public offering at the top of a marketed range, the second big tech listing in as many days.
