Cost of living pressures have risen again, with inflation hitting a four-month high. The key drivers are rising fuel, rent and food prices. While inflation has been moderating since its December peak, it could rise further in the coming months due to oil, energy and food inflation increasing around the world. Economists say the figures mean it is unlikely the Reserve Bank will increase interest rates at its October board meeting. However, there could be one more rate rise before the end of the year.

On one hand, some argue that they are necessary to prevent a collapse of the financial system and the wider economy. On the other hand, others claim that they are unfair and reward reckless behavior by banks. In 2008, following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, governments around the world began bailing out banks in order to prevent a complete financial meltdown. In the United States, Congress passed the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which provided hundreds of billions of dollars to banks and other financial institutions. Similar programs were implemented in other co

From red-hot inflation to a strong jobs market, and all the negative gross domestic product in between, economists are divided on the health of the U.S. economy. A top concern for Americans: Are there layoffs on the horizon? Economists break down the data and economic indicator complexities brought upon by the Covid pandemic and the war in Europe. More corporate leaders are anticipating a recession, according to a survey from Stifel. Big companies are already announcing layoffs, including Best Buy, Ford Motor, HBO Max, Peloton, Shopify, Walmart and Wayfair. Meanwhile, a survey from PwC shows 50% of firms expect to reduce their labor forces in the next six to 12 months. This comes at a time when the labor market could hardly appear stronger. In July 2022, there were 11.2 million job openings, revealing a shortage of workers for available positions. "I think it's very important to look at the number of job openings," Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecru

Moody's Analytics' chief economist Mark Zandi cautions that a recession may be on the horizon. In an interview with CNBC's Andrea Miller, Zandi said a recession did not occur in the first half of this year. Zandi called employment levels the "most important indicator[s]" of a recession. With unemployment at the low rate of 3.5%, he doesn't buy the view that two back-to-back quarters of negative growth alone are sufficient to make for a recession. But Zandi did warn that he expects layoffs to increase in the days ahead. "With this kind of low unemployment, inflation’s going to remain a problem," he said, and to address that the Federal Reserve has signaled it will continue to raise interest rates in an attempt to slow down the job market. Zandi attributed the confusion about whether the U.S. experienced a recession in the first half of this year to the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. "These two massive supp
