## Resource

Monday 24th August 2026 NAB Markets Research Disclaimer   Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NAB US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could dominate finance news this week. NAB’s Taylor Nugent joins Phil to discuss his two bg challenges. First, will we get more of the Treasury Twist -selling long date bonds to bring down yields? More immediately, what’s the plan to impose the massive economic sanctions on Iran that President Trump is promising, and will that mean fresh tariffs on China? A slice of Canada’s exports are now tariffed at 50% as trade talks with the US broke down on Friday. And they talk through the week ahead, which will be a busy one for Australian data. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
