About this episode
Friday 23rd January 2026NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABMarkets faced a whiplash day of geopolitics and data, as President Trump’s abrupt Greenland U?turn steadies equity markets even while uncertainty keeps gold surging. Phil and NAB’s Skye Masters unpack a stronger Aussie dollar, rising local bond yields, and the surprisingly sharp drop in Australia’s unemployment rate that has markets leaning even further toward a February RBA hike. They sweep through firmer US spending and GDP revisions, falling jobless claims, softer NZ retail numbers, and a big day of global PMIs, CPI prints, and the Bank of Japan’s delicate dance with a weakening yen.
