Markets looking through the risks

Markets continue to look through a growing list of risks. Despite ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East, elevated oil prices, sticky inflation and the prospect of further central bank tightening, equities remain near record highs and volatility sits close to yearly lows. In this week's episode, George Vessey is joined by Steven Dooley and Kevin Ford to discuss whether investors have become comfortably complacent. The team explores the global macro backdrop, the implications of a surprisingly weak US payrolls report, what next week's US CPI means for the Federal Reserve, and the outlook for the USD, EUR, JPY, AUD and CAD.Converge is Convera’s podcast that discusses a range of financial services topics.
