Markets Weekly podcast (3 August 2026): Interest rate special

The major central banks kept interest rates unchanged in July, but what happens next? The latest policy meetings were all about the message (or lack of) from central bankers. In this week’s podcast, Michel Vernier, Head of Fixed Income Strategy, joins host Julien Lafargue, our Chief Market Strategist, as they analyse the latest interest rate decisions in the US, Europe and the UK, how the bond markets have reacted and what they mean for the outlook for rates.
