It’s fair to say that 2024 should be known as “The Year of the Ballot Box”, with more than 50 elections having taken place worldwide. In some cases, we think the outcome of those elections could bring about big swings in the direction of policy in 2025.
What could that mean for markets and the economy? In this episode, journalist and podcaster Tim Phillips is joined by Ross Walker, Head of Global Economist and Chief UK Economist; Paul Robson, Head of G10 FX Strategy, EMEA; Joann Spadigam, European Rates Strategist; and Philippe Bradshaw, Head of Syndicate Portfolio and Risk Management Capital Markets, for a lively discussion around some of the big questions looming over the outlook: Are markets underestimating the inflationary impact of fiscal policy? Where will terminal rates land – and will relative rates continue to drive FX? And will fixed income investor appetite wane amidst still-high rates and a potential glut of sovereign bond supply?

In this special edition of The Currency Exchange, host Brian Daingerfield is joined by Paul Robson for a closer look at sterling and the US dollar as we head into 2025.
Where 2024 was characterised by political change, markets will examine the follow-on in 2025 – what higher fiscal commitments may do to inflation targets, bank rates and, ultimately, the relative performance of currencies. In the US, that means contending with Trump 2.0, while in the UK unprecedented fiscal commitments may help sterling’s current strength. Lastly they touch on how China-related risks might affect the fortunes of the Australian and NZ dollars, and whether the Canadian currency may diverge from the US dollar.

In this special edition of Bondcast, Imogen Bachra is joined by Brian Daingerfield and Joann Spadigam to discuss some key themes from our Year Ahead 2025 report, an in-depth guide to what will be shaping economies and markets over the coming 12 months. Following a year of change at the ballot box, new governments have made political promises and fiscal commitments, with increases to government debt on the horizon. How these decisions affect inflation and therefore terminal bank rates is an open-ish question… but the answer is not lower. Finally, they discuss the political backdrop going into 2025, and crucially, how markets are thinking about Trump 2.0.
