Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Central banks from much of the Group of Seven face a pivotal week as mounting inflation risks heap pressure on them to raise interest rates. The US will be most closely watched in the wake of a higher-than-expected core inflation reading, which stoked investor bets that Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh and his colleagues will raise their benchmark rate. Meantime, the Reserve Bank of Australia is set to have their rate decision later in the month. We speak to James McIntyre, Bloomberg Economist for Australia and New Zealand.

Oil rose. Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to Vasu Menon, Managing Director, Investment Strategy, OCBC. See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.
