The Markets

Ashok Varadhan, Co-head of Global Banking & Markets at Goldman Sachs, delves into US inflation and interest rates, the challenges faced by lower quality issuers due to rising rates, the expansion of private credit and its impact on the US economy, and the progress of inflation in the fourth quarter.
