The Week in Markets: Normalising rates and US elections on the horizon

In this episode, we take a look at the US fixed income markets coming out of the third quarter of 2024, and what to expect in this space as we near the November 5 US presidential election. We also briefly discuss how other G10 and Emerging Market central banks have shifted following the Fed’s 50 basis point rate cut in September. It’s a different story in China, however, with its central bank just announcing reductions in the Loan Prime Rates. This episode is presented by Magdalene Teo, Head of Fixed Income Research Asia at Julius Baer.
