The mood is gloomy at Goldman Sachs. The bank is expected to sack up to 3,200 employees on Wednesday—its biggest round of lay-offs since the financial crash in 2008. Even the premium workplace coffee is reportedly no longer free. Higher interest rates and fears of recession are slowing down dealmaking on Wall Street. Goldman’s cuts will hit its investment-banking and trading units particularly hard. Rival investment banks have shed staff, too.

Figures released on Wednesday will show whether Australia is bringing inflation under control. Though painful, its inflation rate is well below the average for members of the OECD. Central bankers predict that it will grow by about 1.5% this year in real terms, even as many other economies tip into recession. That is thanks, in part, to its energy riches and to immigration rebounding after the pandemic.
