Europe boosted by peace hopes

Wednesday 30th March 2022Markets have responded perhaps a little too favourably to peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey overnight. There wasn’t a concrete outcome, yet the Euro is riding high, stocks have risen sharply and bund yields are up. NAB’s Ray Attrill says even if some sort of resolution is found soon, sanctions will remain for some time to come. Meanwhile, front end yields continue to rise in the US as more Fed speakers talk-up the prospect of a 50 basis point hike at the next FOMC meeting. We saw a brief 5-10 year yield inversion, but blink and you missed it. Also today, NAB’s Ivan Colhoun talks through Josh Frydenberg’s pre-election budget. Hosted on Acast.
