Talking heads – A new exchange rate regime?
Foreign exchange (FX) markets can be considered a derivative asset as they tend to be influenced by the volatility of other asset markets. Since 2015, most major currencies have traded within relatively tight ranges. With volatility on the rise in equity, bond and commodity markets, there are good reasons to expect a new regime in the currency markets.
Listen to this talking heads podcast with Head of Foreign Exchange John Bradley and Chief Market Strategist Daniel Morris as they discuss what a new regime in the foreign exchange markets could mean for different currency classes.
Formerly known as the “Weekly Market”, talking heads brings investors in-depth information on topics that really matter to them, analysis of the world and markets through the lens of sustainability, and other interesting conversations with investment experts.

Investing in emerging markets, or in specialized or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to above average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty as less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions).
Some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of developed international markets. For this reason, portfolio transaction, liquidation and custody services on behalf of funds investing in emerging markets may involve greater risk.
