Episode Details

The Bank of Canada joined the Reserve Bank of Australia by resuming rate hikes yesterday. Following the surprise 25-basis-point hike, US Treasury bonds sold off.  India’s government bonds also sold off despite the central bank there not hiking rates, but the Sensex stock index is heading towards record highs. Japan’s government bond yields also rose following news that Japan’s economy grew an annualised 2.7% in Q1 this year, higher than the expected 1.9%. Our Head of Next Generation Research, Carsten Menke, joins the show to update us on the iron ore market, and Nicolas Jordan, from the CIO Strategy & Investment Analysis team, provides the latest thoughts from our Investment Committee.
