In a new episode of The View from Apollo podcast, Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Sløk shares his views on what the recent rate cut by the US Federal Reserve means for the economy and financial markets.
In conversation with Apollo’s Global Head of Content Strategy, J.P. Vicente, Torsten discusses the Fed’s decision-making process and how its voting members came to agree to an aggressive 50 basis-point fed fund rate cut. Torsten also shares his thinking on how far the Fed will go—and how far it should go—as it searches for that elusive point of equilibrium. Also: Torsten provides his views on what it all means for equity, credit, and real-asset markets.
The View from Apollo features conversations with thought leaders across Apollo and portfolio companies of funds managed by Apollo, each bringing their unique perspectives on current macroeconomic trends, the impact to various businesses, and what it can mean for investors.
