Episode Synopsis

It was a busy week on the monetary policy front last week. Chris Holdsworth, Chief Investment Strategist, Investec Wealth & Investment International discusses how the Fed opted to cut rates in response to a softer labour market (despite elevated inflation), while the Bank of Japan kept rates steady, but adopted a hawkish tone. Locally, he looks at how South African real rates remain high after the Reserve Bank left rates unchanged. Investec Focus Radio SA
