About this episode
The episode discusses the current state of FX markets amidst geopolitical tensions and economic indicators.
This week’s FX Weekly podcast unpacks a market that looks stable on the surface but lacks real conviction underneath. George Vessey is joined by Steven Dooley and Antonio Ruggiero to explore how unresolved geopolitics, sticky inflation, and shifting central bank dynamics are shaping FX. The team dives into softer yet still inflationary US data, the Fed’s constrained outlook, and the RBNZ’s hawkish pivot. They also assess why currencies like GBP are drifting without a clear catalyst. The discussion concludes with what could finally break the current range - from Middle East developments to key US data - and what it means for the dollar and broader FX markets.
