Fed’s eyes on today’s US employment repo...

JULIUS BAER
About this episode

The US employment report will take centre stage today and it could well impact the US Federal Reserve’s future interest rate decisions. In China, authorities are continuing with their strategy of announcing not one big-bang stimulus measure, but rather many small measures, to help the economy. And the US Securities and Exchange Commission has again delayed the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs – this would be a big deal for the industry as it would allow investors to own Bitcoin like any other security. Tim Gagie, Head of FX & PM Solutions Geneva, notes that he expects the USD to soften a bit more from here.
