Financial markets have been much more unsettled in recent weeks largely thanks to a “tighter for longer” narrative from the US Fed and a further steep climb in US Treasury yields. In this week’s charts of the week publication we focus on this and other issues including:

· Slowing world trade growth

· Ebbing consumer confidence

· Broad money supply contractions in the euro area

· US household balance sheets

· US corporate balance sheets

· Female labour force participation rates
