USA Bets on Growth - Joe Blogs [View all]



In this video I talk about the recent cut in US interest rates by 25 basis points and explain:

• Why the Fed cut now
• How US rates compare with other major economies
• The link between interest rates and inflation, and what the Fed hopes to achieve
• The broader picture of a global slowdown, with central banks around the world responding in different ways
• What this all means for the US economy, markets and the global economy in the months ahead.
• The big question: will this cut help fuel a growth boost, or is the global economy heading for tougher times?
