Chloe Gronow
Summary
The Federal Reserve faces a stagflation scenario as a weak June jobs report (just 57,000 jobs added, far below expectations) follows inflation accelerating above 4%. Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, warns this combination of weak employment and high inflation represents the Fed's worst-case nightmare, putting pressure on the central bank's policy decisions.
