About this episode

The market’s positioning for aggressive cuts in the US and Europe is being tested this week by several central bank officials.

Dario Messi from Fixed Income Research joins today’s show to shed some light on what to expect from bonds this year, and Mathieu Racheter, Head of Equity Strategy, gives us more insight into the ongoing earnings season.
