from The MUFG Global Markets Podcast · host MUFG EMEA
The release of a much weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls report has triggered significant market movements, as investors increasingly position for a potential Fed rate cut in September. Derek Halpenny, Head of Research, Global Markets EMEA & International Securities, speaks with Jack Greenslade from FX Corporate Sales about the report’s implications for the U.S. dollar and Federal Reserve policy. Derek also explores how the softer labour data could influence U.S. tariff decisions and what this means for the Swiss franc.
