Fixed income has been thriving amid easing central bank policies in Canada, the US, and beyond. Greg Sweet, Scotia Securities Director, chats with Craig Maddock, Vice President & Senior Portfolio Manager, and Wesley Blight, Vice President & Portfolio Manager, both from the Multi-Asset Management team. They delve into significant 2024 events: the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut in September, the market’s shift from the Magnificent 7, the looming U.S. elections, and what these developments mean for investors heading into 2025.
