About this episode

US banks kick off the earnings season with strong beats, while European luxury companies such as Richemont impress with better-than-expected sales. Comments from Fed official Waller on potential rate cuts in 2025 boost investor sentiment, supporting equities and pushing yields lower against a backdrop of robust but slightly softer US economic data. We have Bence Boldvai from our FX & PM Solutions team on the show to talk about the currency market and the particularities of the gold market.

00:00 Introduction by Bernadette Anderko (Investment Writing)

00:27 Markets wrap-up by Jan Bopp (Investment Writing)

06:13 FX and metals: Bence Boldvai (FX & PM Advisory)

09:50 Closing remarks by Bernadette Anderko (Investment Writing)
