In this webinar in the Short-Term Investing Series, Federated Hermes and Strategic Treasurer will discuss the Federal Reserve’s recent actions and the implications this has on short-term investing. After holding rates steady again in December, and with the Fed now telegraphing an expectation of moving to three rate decreases in 2024, it is important to act wisely. Join the dialogue the day after the Fed’s January policy meeting to hear key factors that can be used to calibrate actions and decisions for investors in pursuing attractive returns in this environment.

2023 is coming to a close with notable upheaval. Significant wars continue in Europe and the Middle East; central banks have increased borrowing costs to the highest rate in well over a decade; inflation has pulled back from the peak but remains above targets; borrowing costs and access to capital have tightened; FX risks remain elevated; and many CFOs are exhibiting increased caution. Several questions come up as we consider the outlook for 2024:
• How will companies need to respond to this greater recognition of the risk level?
• Are companies going to leverage their balance sheet for liquidity and supporting their trading partners?
• How does technology fit into the picture as an enabler of overhead scalability and financial resiliency?
Join this fast-paced panel discussion about the volatility of the environment and how corporate treasurers expect to manage through these more turbulent times.
