In this episode, I talk to the Head of Trading Piers Curran on why stability in interbank funding is integral to the functioning of the financial system, using the Global Financial Crisis as an example to understand the current Evergrande situation in China. We also discuss the latest FOMC meeting, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank could begin scaling back asset purchases in November and complete the process by mid-2022, and look at the major obstacles the Bank of England will need to confront in order to hike rates as soon as February 2022.
