As the U.S. and most developed economies look to step up monetary-policy normalization and tightening, the situation in Asia may be panning out differently.

We invite you to join us for a China-focused update on macro, policy and rates for Asia's emerging markets. The session will also feature a discussion with BetaShares on Australian versus global yields and accessing opportunities via fixed income ETFs.

We will conclude with an introduction to Bloomberg's index solutions.

Discussion topics:
  • Global vs. APAC yields
  • Fireside chat with BetaShares
  • Bloomberg's fixed income, equity & multi-asset index solutions
