Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global ForEx and Editor of Marc To Market joins us to discuss the latest developments in the global currency markets. We discuss the roles of central bank policies and Trump’s tariffs as key drivers of currency fluctuations.
Key points include the hiking of interest rates by the Bank of Japan, the Federal Reserve’s current pause, the Bank of Canada’s recent rate cut, and expectations for the Bank of England and ECB. The episode also explores how tariffs affect currency values and central bank decisions, particularly regarding Canada’s economic response and the Mexican peso. Marc shares insights on the outlook for the U.S. dollar, the economic implications of potential tariffs, and considerations for market segments amid these uncertainties.
