Good morning from the Financial Times. Today is Saturday, December 23, and we are wrapping up 2023

with a look at what will happen next year. There are a lot of

elections happening around the world in 2024 and interest rates are gonna get cut

probably maybe and artificial intelligence will going to get cut, probably, maybe.

And artificial intelligence will still be a red hot topic.

But how are all of those things going to shake out?

Well, stick around.

We'll talk about them. I'm Mark Filipino, and this is your F-T-Nees briefing. markets did a lot of weird things in 2003. The S&P 500 went on an absolute tear in a good way even though

interest rates were at a 22-year high. Bonds were, well, yields hit 5% at one point, but subsequently rallied, and investors

are geared up for Central Banks to lower interest rates.

I'm joined now by the FT's markets editor, Katie Martin, to talk about rate cuts and all the other weird stuff that might happen in 2024.

Hey, Katie.

Hey, how you going?
