Mid-Month Update: Balancing Tariff News vs Recent Data Trends

from The MUFG Global Markets Podcast · host MUFG EMEA

George Goncalves, Head of Macro Strategy in the Americas, takes us through a series of topics as a mid-month update: from tariffs, to the recent softer than expected inflation report, the optically better than expected NFP jobs data, and the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill. Recently, George and the team pushed back their next Fed cut to September from July where they still believe that neutral rates are closer to the low 3% levels versus the current low 4% levels. They are also viewing the long-end as offering value in the midst of higher global rates.
