Episode Synopsis

The Fed has a deft balancing act to perform this year - keep the US economy 'not-too-hot, not-too-cold'. Global economic drivers, such as a renewed rise in COVID-19 infections in parts of Europe and Emerging Markets and China's policy-driven slowdown, should help keep economies from overheating. This should allow the Fed to keep policy accommodative in the coming quarters. Buy-on-dips remains a preferred strategy. Speakers:Fook Hien Yap, Senior Investment Strategist, Standard Chartered BankMarco Iachini, Cross-Asset Strategist, Standard Chartered Bank
