Ben Squared: 23rd April 2025: Job Security at the Fed and Safe Havens

30min | 04/23/2025

Description

In this latest Ben Squared podcast, and with markets continuing to struggle, we discuss the burgeoning concerns over recessionary risks, but also the extent to which there are positive offsets (if any?). From there we pivot to the increasing pressure being placed upon the Federal Reserve, and its Chair, by the US Trump Administration to cut interest rates. We conclude by bringing both elements together and to reflect on the virtues of what many consider to be ‘safe haven’ assets, such as Treasuries, Bunds and Gold.

This podcast was recorded on 22nd April 2025.
