Guest: Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics & Strategy, Mizuho Bank

However, on the more positive side most members of the Fed favour rate hike increases of 25bps going forward but the terminal rate could be pushed to 5.25-5.5%. What will this mean for markets in the immediate term? For some insights, we speak to Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics & Strategy, at Mizuho Bank.
