The Trump Tax Plan Goes Through

The US Senate's approval of Trump's Tax Reform yesterday has had muted impact on markets and currencies according to Ben.
He also shares his expectations for the third quarter US GDP numbers expected later today.

Following up on GDP numbers, he goes into Australia's revised GDP growth forecast and talks about the country's high household debts.

Ben also gives input on market expectations on Bank of Japan's release of its monetary policy today.

He also talks about cryptocurrencies and concerns revolving around them. From January, the crypto market has grown about US$17 billion at the start of January to over US$600 billion now.
