About this episode
The past 24 hours have seen an increasingly precarious backdrop for risk markets. A perfect storm of weak US data and disappointing earnings outlooks or results from industry behemoths such as Amazon, Apple and Intel triggered a global sell-off. Safe havens such as US Treasuries rallied, with the policy-sensitive two-year yields touching a 14-month low amid increased bets on rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. We have David Kohl, Chief Economist, on the show to take us through this week's central bank decisions and give us more details on what to expect going forward. 00:00 Introduction by Helen Freer (Investment Writing) 00:21 Markets wrap-up by Jan Bopp (Investment Writing) 06:46 Comments on central bank meetings by David Kohl (Chief Economist) 15:10 Closing remarks by Helen Freer(Investment Writing) Would you like to support this show?
