Quantitative Tightening (QT) with Hunt Economics

April 14, 2022
We discuss Quantitative Tightening with our colleagues from Hunt Economics. With indicators continuing to show the risk of increasing inflation, central banks are looking at strategies to curb the inflation risk.
This post is also available as a podcast on:
Apple

Google Podcast

Join InvestSense Director Jonathan Ramsay and Andrew Hunt of Hunt Economics as they discuss the mechanics of quantitive tightening, and what this means for economies, markets, and households.

In this episode, we cover why equity markets reacted to the Fed minutes last week, and dissect the widely-anticipated quantitative tightening and how will it affect markets, the economy and households.

We discuss the role of the banking system and what all this means for credit trends and give a playbook for 2022 - government bonds vs credit, US vs Equities vs the rest of the world, growth vs defensive assets.
