                  Q4 Outlook: Recession on hold but for how long?

                  John J. Hardy, FX Consultant, Saxo Bank

Clearly this was not the case, as risk appetite remained very robust instead - punishing the USD and supporting especially the growth-sensitive commodity currencies. The recovery story has moved far enough along that the market is pricing in interest rate hikes in Q4 for the most confident central banks.

                  US Q2 GDP - confirmation of ‘The Great Recession’

                  Mads Koefoed, Macro Strategist, Saxo Bank

The improvement, however, was primarily due to revisions, net exports, and Government spending. The illusion that we will quickly return to the GDP level of 2007 is simply that, an illusion!
