Our expert panel discuss a risk off week, with negative catalysts being US Federal Reserve (Fed) commentary on the pace of recovery and downbeat forecasts from the OECD.

The week ahead will be dominated by further comments from central banks in the US, UK and Japan, while ‘intensified’ Brexit trade talks reflect the fast approaching deadline for extension.
