In the first episode of ABN AMRO's new macroeconomic podcast, Bill Diviney (Head of Macro Research) and US economist Rogier Quaedvlieg dive into the recent attacks on Federal Reserve independence.

Why is Fed independence relevant to everyone, from investors to European mortgage holders? The hosts discuss Trump's attempts to gain control over the Fed, analyze stagflationary signals in the US, and explore how Fed policy spills over to Europe through exchange rates, bond markets and the ECB.

Also covered: an update on China's economic slowdown, mixed signals from the US economy, and why France's fiscal problems could become a challenge for ECB independence.

Talking Macro offers a monthly European perspective on major developments in the global economy, with practical insights for both professionals and interested individuals.
