We are proud to receive The Menopause Friendly Accreditation from Henpicked, in recognition of the work that we do to drive menopause inclusion. This accreditation is a significant milestone in improving understanding and building awareness of women’s health in the workplace and reducing the stigma around menopause. It is a testament to the menopause support we offer our employees, engagement from senior leadership and a critical part of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy. #MenopauseSupport #DEI #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #MenopauseAccreditation

In the week to date, US bond yields are a little higher across the curve, and the USD has been a little stronger too, while equities really have had a couple of up and down days. Another big theme for global markets has been the idea of US exceptionalism, which took a dent as some US data printed weaker, Europe data looked better, and as China and Europe announced stimulus plans over prior weeks. For the week ahead, it really is crunch time with April 2 tariff announcements just around the corner. Our Economists from across the globe discuss the latest macro developments, and what could come next.

Financial markets have been difficult to navigate, with equity markets bouncing from their recent lows but still seeing sizable intraday swings. Interest rates seem to be similarly caught between potential upside inflation risks from some sources, and challenging growth dynamics on the other. And all of this comes ahead of the April 2nd tariff announcements from the US which also have the potential to jolt markets further. We discuss this and more in our latest #WeekAhead #podcast. In Europe, we look for further signs that German’s fiscal reform is feeding into stronger growth expectations, while the UK’s fiscal room looks more constrained. In Asia, we discuss likely policy responses in Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.
