About the talk:

Market expectations of a continued V-shape recovery in global economic activity and risky asset prices are likely to be disappointed in first half of 2021. In today's podcast, Dr.Suresh Rama, Head of Rates and FX Strategy, of the Economics and Market Strategy team, RHB Group will be sharing the rates & FX outlook for 2021. Our believe is, the Dollar will surprise to the upside in 2021. We expect a slow-down in global economic activity in first half of 2021 followed by a modest pick-up in growth in the second half of 2021 and believe the current euphoria in global financial markets is ahead of economic and policy fundamentals.
