Institutional Perspective

01

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs: The BOE is now expected to make a 25 basis point rate hike in November and has raised its terminal rate forecast to 6% versus its previous forecast of 5.75%. While the current macro environment for industrial metals remains depressed, the copper economy continues to show significant strength in demand trends. We expect the nickel market to continue to be oversupplied this year and next.

SOCIETE GENERALE

Societe Generale expanded its U.S. fixed income team as interest rates climbed.

MUFG

【MUFG: Non-farm payrolls data will not make the Fed more hawkish in the second half of the year】

MUFG analyst George Goncalves, said the Fed may consider this a balanced non-farm payrolls report that shows more of the true picture of the labor market, where employment trends are softening from the hot pace seen earlier this year, while wage growth remains hot. That won't affect the July rate hike, but it won't leave them with a more hawkish stance in the second half of the year either.
