Evolution of Trading Practices in Corporate Bonds

If the economy evolves a certain way, the Federal Reserve isn’t far from cutting rates more than the market thinks, says Wellington Management Portfolio Manager Brij Khurana. Khurana joins host and Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest-Rate Strategist Ira Jersey and senior Canada and US rate strategy associate Will Hoffman to discuss the current dynamics and trends across fixed-income markets. The trio examines the shifts in the US inflation outlook and subsequent market pricing for Fed policy action, as well as the state of the domestic labor market. They highlight the potential shifts in fiscal policy under the new administration and the changes to nominal growth and wage expectations under several scenarios.
