A poll shows leading economists believe the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in 2022 due to inflationary pressures, the ECB says it will move to “a moderately lower pace” in its €1.85tn pandemic emergency purchase programme, and one of China’s largest property developers, Evergrande, faces the risk of default. Plus, the FT’s US Legal and Enforcement Correspondent, Stefania Palma, explains why regulators around the world are keeping an eye on the clash between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase.
