Why Are FX Markets So Quiet?
Listen now
Description
The calm in currency markets since the late summer has been one of the stranger puzzles of the last year.

This week, Tim brings back Michael Metcalfe, our Global Head of Macro Strategy, and Peter Vincent, head of Trading in EMEA, to discuss why it has been so calm and what might disrupt things in the New Year.
