In this week’s episode, Paul Robson and Brian Daingerfield discuss how the Bank of England and Fed each pushed back against market easing expectations, to differing degrees. They comment on why the outlook for sterling may still be to the topside and why the Fed leaned dovish, despite Powell saying a March cut is not likely. Elsewhere, they talk about how recent inflation data in Europe keep the euro in a challenging spot. Finally, they focus on Sweden where the Riksbank suggested earlier cuts may be appropriate. But the impact of earlier easing on the SEK may not mean that lower rates equals lower FX.
