## Resource

US business activity rises in August as price growth eases. The US dollar settles lower after last week’s Treasury bond market intervention. Stronger inflation boosts Bank of Japan rate hike expectations. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Group Chief Economist Richard Yetsenga reviews the US Treasury’s moves last week to bring borrowing costs down, and the implications for Australia and New Zealand.
