In just a few hours, there's one of those setpiece moments in the US political calendar - President Joe Biden will come to Capitol Hill to deliver his State of the Union address to Congress. It's an especially important speech this year, because it's expected he is poised to announce his bid for re-election in 2024 - so he has to make his pitch to the American people and a lot of that is going to focus on an economy that is showing seeing rising interest rates and high inflation.
