The Trading Floor: 50 bps Fed Cut Now 'Off the Table'

In this episode, I’m joined by co-founder Piers Curran to dive into three major talking points in global markets this week.

Here’s what we cover:

• The odds of a 50 bps rate cut from the Fed have dramatically reduced following the latest US CPI report.

• Trump trades lose steam as Harris wins their first encounter.

• Goldman Sachs prepares to post a $400 million hit to Q3 results as it unwinds its consumer business.

This is the perfect episode to help you unpack the news that matters in a clear and easy-to-understand way, essential listening for any student preparing for the application process!
