Maryam Behmard on Central Banks in the Spotlight

Four central banks, four directions: the diverging playbooks of the ECB, BOJ, Fed, and Bank of England.

In this segment

  • The ECB and Bank of Japan hold to QE and negative rates despite the strain on banks.
  • The Fed and Bank of England lean toward hikes as inflation pressures build.
  • The dilemma: choke off growth by moving fast, or let inflation spiral by waiting.
  • A December Fed hike seen as the likeliest next move.
