Fed surprise: insurance, not fire-fighting

Monetary policy has taken centre stage with the Federal Reserve's much-anticipated decision to cut interest rates. What does this mean for the broader economic outlook, and could it signal the beginning of a recessionary easing cycle?

In the latest episode, host Laura Künlen sits down with Global Investment Strategists Kevin Gardiner and Victor Balfour to analyse the implications of the Fed's decision. They also explore the significance of this rate cut, the actions of other global central banks, and the upcoming U.S. election. Finally, they discuss what these developments mean for our asset allocation.
