Saxo is serving more clients than ever before, and we look forward to welcoming many more over the coming years. The fact that Saxo is a prudent, regulated, and well-capitalised financial institution is one of the foundations of our success, and we remain fully committed to being ahead of the curve on these crucial areas as we continue to grow and further scale our business.”
Peak hawkishness in Q4, and what comes next?
A few months ago, Saxo published its Q4 2022 Quarterly Outlook for global markets: a gloomy take on what to expect in this trimester as we are fast approaching a breaking point, that we’ll arrive at due to the “peak hawkishness” from policymakers over the next quarter or so, the firm states.
The online trading platform’s analysts still hold the view first shared in early 2020 that inflation would be deep rooted and persistent, but are we set for peak hawkishness in Q4, and what comes next?
