Welcome to this week's Titan International market review for the week ending 23rd March 2025. US equity markets broke a run of weekly losses, eking out modest gains, while European bourses extended their strong start to the year. The US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at its March meeting, maintaining the federal funds rate in the 4.25%–4.50% range for a second consecutive time. Updated projections from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) suggest officials still anticipate two rate cuts in both 2025 and 2026, according to the so-called "dot plot". Across the Atlantic, the Bank of England struck a more hawkish tone. Meanwhile in Asia, the Bank of Japan opted to keep its short-term interest rate steady at 0.5%, as expected. In China, economic data painted a more upbeat picture. That's all for this week's Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Investors have their eyes on Treasury yields following Monday's losses fueled partly by a yield rally. Rates could stay in focus ahead of Treasury auctions and CPI later this week.Here is Schwab's early look at the markets for Tuesday, December 10th: Major indexes begin the day licking their wounds and watching the bond market after moderate losses Monday to start a week dominated by U.S. inflation data and central bank meetings. Stocks finished near their lows yesterday, potentially putting the market in a weak spot on the charts as Tuesday dawns.Treasury yields rose across much of the curve Monday amid worries about tomorrow's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and reaffirmation by President-elect Trump that he stands by his tariff and deportation policies, which the market see as inflationary.  Adding to pressure on bonds, which move the opposite direction of yields, was The New York Federal Reserve's November consumer inflation expectations for the year ahead climbing to 3% from 2.9% in October. That followed year-ahead inflation expectations jumping to 2.9% from 2.6% in Friday's University of Michigan's preliminary December consumer sentiment report, the highest in six months. "CPI & PPI loom large this week, and markets will be fixated on this inflation data," said Joe Mazzola, head trading and derivatives strategist at Schwab.Besides CPI, tomorrow brings a rate decision from the Bank of Canada followed by Thursday's expected rate cut by the European Central Bank (ECB). The CPI data and Thursday's Producer Price Index (PPI) could have a large impact on the U.S. rate outlook, but the Fed is seen almost certainly lowering rates when it gathers next week. Tech stumbled to start the week after driving last week's rally to record highs. The softness surfaced after China announced an anti-trust investigation into Nvidia (NVDA), which weighed on Nvidia and most other semiconductor stocks. Tech may find itself under more pressure today after Oracle (ORCL) disappointed late Monday with earnings that missed analysts' average estimate. Revenue came in as expected, dominated by AI-driven cloud performance, but shares fell 7% in pre-market trading. While Nvidia and semiconductors weighed on tech yesterday thanks partly to Beijing, not all the China news was bearish. China's Politburo shifted to looser monetary policy and promised more stimulus. This gave U.S.-listed Chinese stocks a boost and appeared to help U.S. gold mining and European luxury goods makers that might benefit from increased Chinese demand. Apple (AAPL), with a large presence in the Chinese market, registered a new all-time high Monday.  As of late Monday, traders saw an 86% chance rates will fall 25 basis points at the conclusion of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting December 17–18 and a 14% chance of no move, based on the CME FedWatch Tool. It's unlikely the Fed would want to rock the boat by pausing next week with the market primed for a cut. But the central bank might deliver a so-called "hawkish trim," meaning it could lower rates and also express caution in its updated projections and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference. Heading into Tuesday, the question is whether Wall Street sees any "buy the dip" action after Monday's washout. The worst performing S&P 500 sector yesterday was mega-cap dominated communication services, while only the defensive health care sector made any gains.The S&P 500® index (SPX) fell 37.42 points (0.61%) Monday to 6,052.85; the Dow Jones Industrial Average®($DJI) slipped 240.59 points (0.54%) to 44,401.93; and the Nasdaq Composite®($COMP) fell 123.08 points (0.62%) to 19,736.69.Important DisclosuresInformation on this site is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered individualized recommendations or personalized investment advice.

After a two-day meeting of its monetary policy committee in Washington, D.C., the Fed announced it would move its rate target to 4.50% to 4.75%. Investors anticipated the move after the central bank's bigger half percentage point cut at its September meeting.  Source: washingtonexaminer.com Powell says he would not resign as Fed chief if Trump asked for his resignation  Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Thursday that the president does not have the legal power to fire or demote him. When asked whether he would step aside if President-elect Donald Trump asked him to resign, Powell simply said: “No.” Source: cnbc.com Legal Basis: Section 10 of the Federal Reserve Act specifies that members of the Board of Governors, including the Chairman, can be removed "for cause" by the President. However, what constitutes "for cause" isn't explicitly detailed in the law, but traditionally, it has been interpreted to mean serious misconduct like inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. Policy disagreements generally do not suffice as cause for removal. Practical Considerations: Legal Challenge: If a President attempted to remove the Chairman without clear cause, the Chairman could potentially challenge this in court, which might lead to a Supreme Court decision defining what "for cause" means in this context. Federal Reserve Structure: Even if removed from the chairmanship, the individual might still serve as a Governor if their term hasn't expired, potentially retaining influence over policy through voting rights on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Trump's tariffs will contribute to the US economic boom Trump's tariffs (coupled with his reduction in the corporate income tax for American producers) would encourage businesses to build new factories in the United States.  In his commentary “Trump's Most Misunderstood Policy Proposal,” Cass pointed out that Americans, not foreign workers, get the wages when products are produced in the United States.  He also pointed out that manufacturing drives long-term growth: Manufacturing drives innovation.

* Guest: Nathan Worcester, politics reporter at The Epoch Times - TheEpochTimes.com * Kamala Harris has sat for just one and a half interviews since she was anointed the Democratic nominee. Meanwhile, Donald Trump just survived a second assassination attempt. So, it's seemingly easier to threaten the life of the Republican nominee than it is to interview the Democratic one. That really says all you need to know about the state of American politics - DailyCaller.com * In Michigan, Vance Emphasizes Illegal Immigrant Crime! * 55 to 60 Arrested During Violent DNC Protests: Chicago Police - Three journalists were among those taken into custody, according to Superintendent Larry Snelling. * As Trump Readied His Putt, He Heard 'Pop, Pop' of Gunfire! * How did Trump's would-be assassin know about the president's unplanned activities? * Eric Trump: 'My father is running out of lives here,' * Eric Trump told Megyn Kelly people need to "entertain" the idea that the second assassination attempt against Trump could be an "inside job". * Eric Trump urged viewers to "entertain everything" after Kelly pressed him on the possibility that the attack could have been an inside job as Trump wasn't officially scheduled to be at the golf course. * Oregon DMV Admits To Wrongfully Registering Hundreds Of Non-citizens To Vote! In the latest object lesson in why we need voter ID laws and why motor-voter initiatives are a terrible idea, the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles quietly announced late last week that over 300 non-citizens had been accidentally registered to vote. Furthermore, The Oregonian's report on the matter seemed to indicate a number of these 306 people illegally registered to vote were also here illegally, as well. * Three Democratic senators urged the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to aggressively cut its federal funds rate at its September meeting in an effort to jolt the economy as the November presidential election draws near. Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Colorado Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper and Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse requested the Fed issue a 0.75% cut at the FOMC meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday - three times its usual quarter-point move, according to a letter sent by the senators to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Monday. * Lower interest rates would mean a lower cost of borrowing for businesses and consumers, which could spur economic growth, and, consequently, boost the Democrats chances of keeping the White House come November. "If the Fed is too cautious in cutting rates, it would needlessly risk our economy heading towards a recession," the senators wrote.

Kristina Hooper, Chief Global Market Strategist, Invesco shares her expert take on the size of rate cut that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is likely to decide on on this week, risk that investors should be watching out for when the retail numbers are released tomorrow and whether there's a sign of weakness among consumers on big ticket purchases.

(AURN News) - The Federal Reserve remains locked in an intense battle against stubbornly high inflation, with policymakers signaling the road ahead will be longer and bumpier than previously anticipated, according to minutes from their latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting released Wednesday.  "Domestic data releases over the intermeeting period pointed to inflation being more persistent than previously expected and to a generally resilient economy," the minutes indicated. While overall inflation has eased over the past year, the minutes also reveal concerns that progress has stalled recently. Consumer prices, as measured by the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, "slowed significantly over the past year but had moved up slightly in recent months,” according to the minutes.  The FOMC also indicated in their meeting that inflation remained stubborn when it comes to both goods and services. "Participants observed that while inflation had eased over the past year, in recent months there had been a lack of further progress toward the Committee's 2 percent objective. The recent monthly data had showed significant increases in components of both goods and services price inflation," the minutes said.  Policymakers also voiced worries about inflation's continued financial impacts, noting, "Participants generally commented that they remained highly attentive to inflation risks. They also remained concerned that elevated inflation continued to harm the purchasing power of households, especially those least able to meet the higher cost," the notes said.  "Participants noted that they continued to expect that inflation would return to two percent over the medium term. However, recent data had not increased their confidence in progress toward two percent and, accordingly, had suggested that the disinflation process would likely take longer than previously thought."  While the Fed has indicated some progress, we are now learning that inflation is a tougher foe than expected.  Learn more about your ad choices.

WASHINGTON (AURN News) - The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, maintaining its aggressive stance in the battle against stubbornly high inflation despite the growing economic risks. In a widely expected move, the central bank's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept its benchmark federal funds at 5.25% to 5.5%, which is still the highest level since 2007. However, the Fed signaled it is not ready to pivot from its current inflation-fighting monetary policy, pushing back against market expectations for rate cuts any time soon. The decision underscores the Fed's resolve to tame the highest inflation in decades, even as high borrowing costs increase the risk of an economic downturn. While overall inflation has gone down from last summer, it still remains well above the Fed's 2% target, driven by rapid price increases for housing, food, and other goods and services. “The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent,” the FOMC said in a statement. Wednesday's pause is a continuation of pauses that began in December 2023 when the Fed first chose not to raise rates, following an aggressive tightening cycle of 11 consecutive hikes. The burden of rapidly rising prices has been particularly hard for many Americans and especially the Black community. As the 2024 election campaign heats up, soaring consumer costs are expected to remain a central issue, with both Trump and Biden offering their vastly different visions to provide much-needed economic relief.

This week, investors will be focused on the Fed's second Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the year.  They are widely expected to make no change in interest rates.  However, Fed communications will provide guidance on two important subjects:  First, they will update their summary of economic projections and their “dot-plot” forecast for the federal funds rate.  Second, and particularly in Chairman Powell's press conference, they will likely provide some further hints on when and how they could begin to phase out quantitative tightening.  While their messaging will likely continue to point towards monetary easing in the months ahead, the implied timing and extent of that easing could have major impact on markets.

This week, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is expected to release another interest rate decision. Will the Federal Reserve's statements move the markets and disrupt the bullish momentum in the stock market? Torsten Slok, partner and chief economist at Apollo Global Management, joins us to share what specific phrases from the FOMC may indicate when rate cuts will come and gives us a hot take of his own about what the Fed's decision will be. Then, we're turning our attention to FedEx's earnings report expected on Thursday. The company has marketed new technologies in their business strategies, such as providing integral data from packaged delivery services that may excite investors. WSJ reporter Esther Fung and Heard of the Street editor Spencer Jakab join to explain how companies leaning into ‘tech' branding can affect their stocks and what they're looking to hear on this week's earnings call. Finally, we're turning up the volume on music royalties becoming asset-backed securities. WSJ's Los Angeles bureau chief Sarah Krouse joins to share why musicians like Bruce Springsteen are getting big deals from investors and what it means for markets. How can we better help you take on the week? We'd like to hear from you. Send us an email to takeontheweek@wsj.com.

This week on Facing the Future we'll examine how policies of the Federal Reserve Board affect the economy and the budget. Did the Fed's "quantitative easing" go too far and last too long? Our guest is Thomas Hoenig, former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and a member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) from 1991 to 2011.

In this episode, we discuss the dovish pivot by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and Federal Reserve (Fed) chair, Mr Jerome Powell, that has pushed US treasury yields sharply lower. The market now prices in 150bps cut as early as March while the Fed median dots plot points only to a 75bps cut. As the market fully discount the Fed's dovish policy, officials are now trying to dial back expectations of an early cut. Although credit spread is not cheap, investors can still lock in yields before the rate cut in 2024. We have upgraded Emerging Market (EM) to an Overweight backed by positive view on Latin America and Asia two weeks ago. The shift in US rates is positive for EM as the central banks in this region can now focus on growth and protecting employment gains. With Asian credit spread at a six-year low, favorable technicals will continue to support Asia high grade (HG). We expect the net redemption trend in 2023 to persist into 2024. In addition, resilient fundamentals, a stable rating trend and diversification reasons from developed market could lead to flows back to the region. The path to lower US interest rates is not a linear one. We could see some treasury volatility with setback at around 4.25%. Investors can use the opportunity to add quality HG bonds and financials in the US and Asia.This is also the last The Week in Markets episode till Jan next year. I wish you a Merry (and blessed) Christmas and happy 2024 and thank you for your continuing support.This episode is presented by Magdalene Teo, Head of Fixed Income Research, Asia at Bank Julius Baer.

As we navigate the final stretch of the year, many of us are feeling the economic constraints of the past year as the nation continues to battle inflation and higher costs. So what can we expect for the rest of December and next year? The National Association of Business Economics (NABE) has unveiled its latest outlook survey, shedding light on what lies ahead for the remainder of December and into the coming year. The organization's projections indicate a positive finish for 2023, with even stronger expectations compared to their October Outlook survey. According to the NABE, the nation is expected to experience slower growth between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2024. Despite the optimism for the current year, the panelists are cautious about the trajectory of economic expansion in the near future. Notably, three out of four panelists have expressed concerns, suggesting a 50% chance of a recession within the next year. “While most respondents expect an uptick in the unemployment rate going forward, a majority anticipates that the rate will not exceed 5%. Too much monetary policy tightness and broadening conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are cited as the largest downside risks for the U.S. economy,” NABE President and chief U.S. economist for Morgan Stanley, Ellen Zentner, said in a statement. “Panelists anticipate further slowing in core inflation—excluding food and energy costs—but doubt it will reach the Federal Reserve Board's 2% target before year-end 2024,” commented NABE's Outlook Survey Chair Mervin Jebaraj, who also serves as director for the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Arkansas. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the economic landscape, with its upcoming meeting scheduled for December 12th and 13th. At the end of this meeting, we will hear more from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on what happens next with interest rates. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(AURN News) – A report released Thursday from the U.S. Department of Commerce is offering new insight into the state of inflation and the American economy. The data highlights an increase in personal income by over $57 billion in October, coupled with a 0.2% rise in overall spending. The Federal Reserve, in its ongoing efforts to gauge inflation, places particular emphasis on Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data. The report underscores progress being made in lowering inflation to the goal target of 2%. Just weeks ago, the Fed, following a series of interest rate hikes, officially declared that there would be no further increases at the time. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is scheduled to meet again on December 12th and 13th, when we'll find out the Federal Reserve's next decision on interest rates. And while Thursday's report from the Commerce Department may signal good news in the fight against inflation closer to home, everyday Americans continue to feel a tight economic squeeze, especially at grocery stores where food prices remain high.

Markets were off to one of the best start in decades during the first half of 2023—then came the third quarter. The Federal Reserve resumed increasing rates, bringing them to a 22-year high at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting at the end of July. This led to ongoing elevated interest rates through August, pushing bond yields higher and challenging lofty equity valuations. In this episode, Casey Dylan, CIMA®, Investment Communications Strategist (Consultant), and Tom Romano our Head of Strategic Relationships & Product Development, will provide timely insights, and analysis, on market activity from around the world this financial quarter.

WASHINGTON (AURN News) — The Federal Reserve has announced that there will be no change in interest rates following the conclusion of its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) two-day meeting. This decision came as a pivotal moment for the nation's economic watchers amid high inflation. The Fed cited robust economic activity during the third quarter and praised the overall health of the U.S. banking system. Nevertheless, in a statement, it acknowledged that inflation remained "elevated" and expressed a continued commitment to reducing it to the target rate of 2 percent. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, spoke to a strong labor market. "In the labor market. What we've seen is a very positive rebalancing of supply and demand, partly through just much more supply coming online. And with labor demand still clearly remaining very strong when you're when we have the kind of job growth we've had over the last quarter. It's still very strong demand," Powell stated. The decision not to change interest rates comes amidst persistent concerns about high inflation, which has been a pressing economic issue since last year. Inflation currently stands at 3.7 percent, down from last year's high of 6.5 percent. Investors and financial markets had been eagerly awaiting the FOMC decision, as it carries significant implications for borrowing costs, investment decisions, and broader economic trends. The decision not to raise interest rates was welcomed by many investors and markets as stocks rose after the announcement. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled to take place on December 12 and 13 when the Federal Reserve will once again evaluate economic conditions, make any necessary adjustments to its monetary policy, and determine if interest rates will increase.

The FOMC's decisions have a significant impact on the global economy, including the traditional financial markets and the Bitcoin and crypto sectors.On Wednesday, September 20, 2023, at 2:00 pm ET, the FOMC will announce its decision on the federal funds rate. The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans. It is the benchmark interest rate in the United States, and it affects all other interest rates in the economy.The FOMC is widely expected to raise the federal funds rate by 75 basis points (bps) at this meeting. This would bring the federal funds rate to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%. This would be the highest level of the federal funds rate since 2006.The FOMC will also release a statement and a set of economic projections at the same time as its rate decision. The statement will provide more detail on the FOMC's rationale for its decision and its outlook for the economy. The economic projections will show the FOMC's forecasts for economic growth, inflation, and unemployment.The FOMC's decisions are typically followed by a press conference by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Powell will hold a press conference at 2:30 pm ET on Wednesday to discuss the FOMC's decision and answer questions from reporters.The FOMC's rate decision and Powell's press conference are closely watched by investors and other market participants around the world. The FOMC's decisions can have a significant impact on the prices of stocks, bonds, and other assets, including Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.Investors and traders in both the traditional financial markets and the Bitcoin and crypto sectors are closely watching the FOMC's rate decision this Wednesday. They are eager to learn how the FOMC will balance the need to combat inflation with the risk of slowing economic growth.In the traditional financial markets, investors are concerned that the FOMC may be raising interest rates too quickly, which could lead to a recession. However, they are also aware that the FOMC needs to take action to bring inflation under control.In the Bitcoin and crypto sectors, investors are concerned that the FOMC's rate hikes could lead to a sell-off in risky assets, including cryptocurrencies. However, they are also hopeful that the FOMC's actions will help to stabilize the global economy and create a more favorable environment for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the long term.Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will address the public, shedding light on the decision, 30 minutes post-announcementPowell's press conference will be closely watched by investors and other market participants for insights into the FOMC's thinking and its plans for the future.

Investors and traders will be listening carefully for any signs that the FOMC may be changing its stance on inflation, interest rates, or Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

DoubleLine Portfolio Manager Jeff Mayberry and Quantitative Analyst Eric Dhall begin their review of the week ended Aug. 18 with a rough market for equities (1:18) All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 ended the week in the red. The catalyst for the losses in equities appeared to be higher interest rates (2:46), with the yield of the 10-year Treasury notably breaking above 4.20%. Higher rates (4:22) virtually by definition led to negative returns in many areas of fixed income, including for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, the most widely followed gauge of domestic high grade bond performance. Commodities (5:47) shared in the red ink, led lower by energy and industrial metals. Dominating the relatively light macro news for the week (9:13) were a major property default in China, robust retail sales in the U.S. (albeit possibly skewed by Amazon Prime day), mixed import prices and the release of the minutes of July 26 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the monetary-policy setting body of the Federal Reserve. The FOMC minutes (12:57) may have led markets to price in the likelihood of the federal funds rate remaining higher for longer than previously expected. Looking to the week ahead, Jeff and Eric will be especially tuned in to Federal Reserve officials' comments at their annual retreat at Jackson Hole, Wyoming (17:45), in particular Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech scheduled for 7:05 am Pacific/10:05 am Eastern Friday Aug. 25.

ChatGPT2 / 2Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we'll be diving into some interesting developments in the financial markets and crypto space. Today, we'll cover topics ranging from equities and interest rates to the state of Binance US and the intriguing speculation surrounding a massive Miner. We'll also touch upon Arkham, an initiative that has garnered attention and mixed reactions.Let's start with equities, which are currently experiencing a period of uncertainty. They are described as "basically uncharges," implying that they lack a clear direction. Meanwhile, interest rates have had a rally, likely impacting market dynamics.Raoul Pal, a prominent figure in the finance industry, recently posted about short interest in treasury bonds. This comes just as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) number is approaching, which adds to the anticipation and speculation among investors. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and their concerns are also contributing to a crowded short position, further complicating the market outlook.Shifting gears to the world of cryptocurrency, Binance US has been the subject of scrutiny due to discrepancies in market prices and concerns about the availability of coin inventory. Users have reported difficulties moving USD in or out of the platform, leading to speculation that the entire platform may be winding down.Another intriguing topic is the speculation surrounding a massive Miner. This individual or group is believed to be responsible for preventing Bitcoin (BTC) from breaking past the $31,000 mark. The motives behind such actions remain unknown, sparking curiosity and discussions within the crypto community.Lastly, we delve into Arkham, a project that aims to identify anonymous accounts and increase transparency through incentivized information sharing. Some view Arkham as a Fed-backed initiative, akin to a "big brother" overseeing and doxxing individuals. Memes and tweets surrounding this project have circulated widely, often injecting humor into the conversation. However, the actual product has left many people feeling uneasy, as it highlights the fact that everything one does is recorded on the blockchain, reinforcing the idea that true anonymity may be elusive.These recent developments showcase the complex and ever-evolving nature of the financial markets and the crypto space. As always, it's crucial to stay informed and consider the implications of these trends on your investment strategies. Remember, even in the world of decentralized finance, privacy might not be as guaranteed as it seems.GM! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Swiss National Bank and regulator FINMA are organising the talks in an attempt to build confidence in the country's banking sector.

Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles (Find links below or, along with charts, at bitcoinandmarkets.com/fed130) In this episode, we dive into all the central bank policy announcements this week, focusing on the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank (ECB). To set the stage for analyzing central bank monetary policy discussion, we look at the several macro charts, including bitcoin, the S&P 500, the dollar index (DXY), and US Treasury yields. The Federal Reserve raised its Fed Funds target range to 4.50% to 4.75%, emphasizing stable prices, inflation fighting, and employment. To help take us through this announcement, we listen to a couple clips of Chairman Jerome Powell at the press conference following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Powell also signaled that more rate hikes are coming, using the term “ongoing increases”. It's a fine line the Fed has to walk. Since they don't do anything mechanical to set rates, the forward guidance and word choices make all the difference. After a long discussion about the Fed's decision, we jump to the ECB's latest monetary policy change. The ECB raised their policy rates by 50 bps, as expected. However, they did slightly shift their forward guidance more dovish, differing from the Fed's choice to remain rhetorically more hawkish. Instead of confirming two more 50 bps hikes eluded to in past statements, the ECB confirmed only one more before reevaluating. They also introduced “Climate QE” as part of their balance sheet reduction strategy. Each month, they allow a certain number of securities to mature and roll-off their balance sheet, reinvesting the remainder into new securities including corporate bonds. They will now take into consideration companies' ESG-type score, when deciding which corporate bonds to buy. Thanks for joining us. If you are reading this, hit the like and subscribe button!
