Charts of the Week
The messaging from this week’s raft of economic data has painted an increasingly familiar picture of the global economic scene. Headline inflation is finally easing off its highs in large part thanks to ebbing energy prices. But last year’s high levels of inflation and the global trend toward tighter monetary policy that they sparked are now exacting a heavier toll on economic activity.
Following the leader
A soft landing narrative has continued to shape sentiment in financial markets over recent days, supported by several factors. These include upbeat corporate earnings news, a sharp drop in oil prices, weaker-than-expected inflation data and US labour market resilience. In our charts this week we focus on:
·    Oil prices and yields
·    UK inflation
