Fed hikes again

The Fed raised interest rates by 75bps as widely anticipated by the market, a move that could impact both the G10 and emerging markets as well. On this week’s episode, we discuss on the aggressive series of rates and key events that could shape up the narrative in the coming weeks, as well as some technical view on the FX Market.

Commodity markets were once sought as a prominent safe haven from inflation threat. Investors are seeking other real return alternatives. On this week’s episode of MCB Wave podcast, Jolene sits down with Shehzad Purdasy, Structurer – Client Advisory at MCB.

EURUSD: 1 to 1

Euro hovered on the brink of parity last week as the Nord Stream pipeline feeding gas to Germany from Russia is on a 10-day maintenance. The European Central Bank introduced a new game for the anti-fragmentation plan called Transmission Protection Mechanism. Listen to this week’s episode of MCB Wave podcast with Jolene Li Sing How and Shalinee Ramphul-Rampadaruth, Global Markets Sales Manager at MCB.
