Overview

On the heels of the Bank of Canada and the FOMC rate decisions in late January, the market will be watching the data very closely. What will it take to get a cut in either/both countries? Is the optimism for cuts earlier in the year realistic – or wishful thinking?

Watch experts from ATB's Financial Markets Group as they engage in a round table discussion on interest rates, inflation drivers, the implications for foreign exchange, and expectations for the overall economy.

Key points include:

• Central Bank impacts: what we learned from the BoC and FOMC in January
• Is the first cut the deepest? Who can we expect to cut first - when and by how much?
• Is there hope of a soft landing?

Sharing their expertise will be JP Dore, Director of Interest Rate Sales, and Janek Guminski, Managing Director, Head of Foreign Exchange Sales, both with ATB’s Financial Markets Group. Managing Director of Interest Rate Sales of ATB Financial Markets Group, Mark Johnson, will be moderating.
