25 or 50 bps? That is the question

JULIUS BAER
About this episode

Markets are eagerly anticipating a rate cut from the US Federal Reserve this week. We only have to wait until Wednesday to find out whether they opt for 25 or 50 basis points. Ahead of this, US stock markets rallied. European markets also advanced after the ECB cut rates on Thursday. Asian markets are a little more mixed after disappointing Chinese data and the upcoming Bank of Japan meeting on Friday. Markus Wachter joins the show today to provide the technical viewpoint on, amongst other things, precious metals.
