Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 6 March 2025
The Federal Reserve appears to be facing greater pressure to cut interest rates as growth prospects will likely be dampened by Trump’s intensifying tariff war. In this episode, we look at the path of US interest rates as well as yields on Japanese and German bonds. We also go into depth as to why Germany’s plan to invest more in defence and infrastructure would do little to lift long-term GDP growth.
“Sound Economies with Mel & Peter” is a weekly podcast show where our founding CEO Peter Lundgreen and Manila-based Chief Economist Mel Lopez discuss what’s happening in economies around the world and their views of the global financial markets.
