Join Financial Times journalists and guests for a subscriber webinar on the resilience of the financial system and the risks facing it. With government bond yields rising, questions mounting over central bank independence and political shifts reshaping trade and monetary policy, what are the implications for investors, households and policymakers?
Our expert panel will explore:
-
How nervous should we be about government bond prices falling, pushing yields up significantly? Does this mean the so-called “bond vigilantes” are back and putting indebted governments under pressure?
-
Are the low interest rates that followed the global financial crisis now a thing of the past?
-
How is US monetary policy evolving under political pressure from President Trump — and what is it doing to the Federal Reserve’s credibility?
-
How are Trump administration tariff policies affecting other central banks, in terms of their monetary policy and financial stability mandates?
-
Are looser regulations and renewed hype around cryptocurrencies posing a new risk to financial stability?
