ECB Must Narrow Interest-Rate Gap With Fed, OECD Says
The European Central Bank will have to raise its key interest rate much further if it is to bring down persistently high inflation, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development warned Tuesday.
Inflation rates have surged since Russia's invasion of Ukraine pushed energy and food prices sharply higher. While there have been some recent signs that these rates are at or close to their peaks, the Paris-based research group said inflation is unlikely to fall back quickly to the 2% level targeted by many central banks.
Central Banks Face Future Marked by Increased Inflation Volatility, RBA Gov Says
SYDNEY--Containing inflation within a desired target band is becoming a much more complicated job, Reserve Bank of Australia Gov. Philip Lowe said in a speech Tuesday, warning that supply shocks, climate change, aging workforces and the retreat of globalization will increasingly fuel inflation volatility worldwide.

Mr. Austin and Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe discussed bilateral ties and security matters on the sidelines of a gathering of defense ministers in the Cambodian city of Siem Reap, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
GOP Rep. David Valadao, Who Voted to Impeach Trump, Wins Re-Election
California Rep. David Valadao won re-election on Monday, meaning two of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump over his role in the Capitol riot will return to Congress next year.
Mr. Valadao defeated Democratic State Assemblyman Rudy Salas, the Associated Press projected late Monday, hanging onto his seat in a swing district that runs from Fresno to Bakersfield. With 98% of the vote counted, Mr. Valadao had 51.7% to 48.3% for Mr. Salas.
