Risk appetite disappeared on Wall Street

JULIUS BAER
About this episode

European markets played catch-up with Wednesday’s US rally yesterday, with nearly all sectors posting significant gains. However, when US markets opened, risk appetite appeared to evaporate on Wall Street, as stocks fell despite subdued inflation data. There was some brief respite for Treasuries but they then resumed their sell-off from earlier in the week, sparking concerns among many about the health of the financial system. Asian markets delivered mixed performance overnight, but gold reached yet another record high. In this episode, we are joined by Tim Gagie, Head of FX and Precious Metals Solutions in Geneva, who shares his expertise on the latest developments in foreign exchange and metals, offering valuable insights into these markets.

00:28 Markets wrap-up by Lucija Caculovic (Investment Writing)

05:49 FX and metals by Tim Gagie (Head of FX & PM Solutions Geneva)
