Back in Sync

RBC Capital Markets
About this episode

With the Fed and ECB set to follow the BoC’s lead with 25bp cuts of their own, a number of the major central banks are now back in sync. So far, these central banks look to be proceeding gradually along their respective cutting paths, but the possibility of larger cuts still loom should economic conditions start to deteriorate. Meanwhile, others are proving even more cautious, with the next cut from central banks such as the RBA and BoE even further afield.

Participants:

  • Blake Gwinn (Desk Strategy), Head of US Rates Strategy
  • Simon Deeley (Desk Strategy), Canada Rates Strategist
  • Peter Schaffrik (Desk Strategy), Head of UK/European Rates & Economics
  • Su-Lin Ong (Research), Chief Australia Economist
