Absolutely a fooking joke

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) used its updated World Economic Outlook to take another red pen to growth forecasts as economies battle the impact of rising prices.

It said that growth was "stalling" in the world's three largest economies (the US, China and eurozone) as a consequence of the deteriorating picture for inflation, linked to the COVID pandemic and latterly Russia's war in Ukraine, forecasting that the problem would remain more stubborn than predicted in its previous update.

Chillingly it warned that under a "plausible" scenario, downside risks for the global economy including a complete shutdown in Russian gas supplies to Europe and prolonged zero-COVID lockdowns in China would result in one of the worst performances for output since 1970 if realised.

Driven by rising energy and food prices, annual inflation in Spain surpassed 10% for the first time in 37 years in June, forcing the government to raise its expectations for consumer prices... ... Are interest rates set to go higher than anyone thinks possible?
With inflation raging at 10% or more, central banks may have to raise interest rates to similar levels to keep it under control. But have they got the bottle to do that, asks Dominic Frisby?

Troajan..yeah can you imagine if the dollar was better where glencore would be ? Just a thought inflation gets worse (talk of 10% ) and we go into a recession glencore has got a long way to fall . All miners .. all tge fecking market to be honest

Troajan yeah the dollar is a big pull down..im surprised miners and oilers are where they are with the dollar to be honest .if the Dollar was at $1.32/$1.34 to the pound as it was a while back then things would be way different

Troajan.. :-)

Troajan..Russians have no honor what so ever ..re banks and Lloyd's possibly back to 70pence ?

0.75% hike due troajan they need two plus a 0.50% they reckon what's that 2%.....and this tooMining giant BHP Group has joined rival Rio Tinto Group in signaling more turbulence to come for commodities producers as costs balloon and demand for everything from iron ore to copper hits headwinds.

The world’s biggest miner warned Tuesday of an “overall slowing of global growth” amid the war in Ukraine, Europe’s energy crisis and global monetary tightening. The commentary — from its latest quarterly output update — echoed remarks from Rio last week. BHP also said cost pressures would linger over the coming 12 months, while Vale SA trimmed its full-year iron ore production guidance, due in part to “current market conditions.”
