Todos os anos, o Banco MUFG Brasil se alia à Campanha Mundial do Novembro Azul sobre a conscientização da prevenção e do diagnóstico precoce do câncer de próstata, promovendo encontros internos com a presença de profissionais de saúde. É sempre uma oportunidade para encorajar os homens a pensarem mais na sua saúde e reduzir algumas crenças. As mulheres, como aliadas, também foram convidadas para este bate-papo, onde foi reforçada a importância da prevenção por meio de hábitos saudáveis, dos exames de rotina regulares e de estar atento aos sintomas para aumentar a possibilidade de cura. O autocuidado é sempre o maior aliado dos homens.” #MUFG #NovembroAzul #SaúdedoHomem Every year, MUFG Brazil joins the World Blue November Campaign on awareness of the prevention and early diagnosis of prostate cancer, promoting internal meetings with the presence of health professionals. It is an opportunity to encourage men to think more about their health and reduce some myths. As allies, women were also invited to this session, where the importance of prevention through healthy habits, regular routine exams and being aware of symptoms to increase the possibility of cure were reinforced. Self-care is always men's greatest ally." #MUFGBrazil #BlueNovember #Men'sHealth

This week George G., MUFG Head of U.S. Macro Strategy, discusses the implications of a second Trump presidency on the economy. In George’s view there are a couple schools of thought forming on how markets participants are looking to further position for a 2nd Trump administration, one that also has Republicans in power in the Congress as well. In one camp, and the one that has worked thus far, has been the playbook from the 2016 Trump 1.0 election, where financials and the dollar rallied but rates sold off. George suggests that there is more than one path potentially ahead and that it will pay to remain open minded on what may happen to the economy, markets and overall policy.

MUFG is pleased to announce that it has received the top gold rating on the PRIDE Index[1] for the fifth consecutive year for its efforts to increase awareness and the inclusion of LGBTQ employees. [2] MUFG has positioned the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as one of its key management priorities, and is working to create an organization and work environment in which each and every employee regardless of gender, disability, nationality, race, age, gender identity, and sexual orientation, has fair and equitable opportunities for growth. We are committed to promoting DEI so that each and every employee can thrive while acknowledging each other's differences and strengths, and all stakeholders have the power to move forward towards a sustainable future. [1] The PRIDE Index was established in 2016 as Japan’s first index that evaluates companies’ LGBTQ-related initiatives. It is based on five pillars, Policy (action declaration), Representation (LGBTQA network), Inspiration (raising awareness), Development (human resources management policy and programs), and Engagement / Empowerment (social responsibility and external activities), used to evaluate companies on a three-rank scale: gold, silver, and bronze. [2] The gold rating was bestowed upon MUFG and seven group companies (MUFG Bank, Ltd., Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd., MUS Business Service Co., Ltd., MUS Information Systems Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi UFJ Information Technology, Ltd.).

On the back of a recently published FOMC preview report, this week George G., MUFG Head of U.S. Macro Strategy, walks us through what to expect at the September FOMC meeting and the rationale for why our house view is calling for the first cut to be 50bps. George also explores how this easing cycle may progress. In George’s view, this is an historical event because this easing cycle is being launched as a preemptive move to avoid further cooling in the labor market and economy. In the last few easing cycles, the Fed has lowered rates in reaction to a specific event or catalyst (i.e. http://ms.spr.ly/6047mVoic bust, GFC and the pandemic) that shocks and quickly weakens the economy (forcing the Fed into action). This time the Fed has seen the macro environment turn and is being cautious because recent data is likely overstating how healthy the economy truly is. Therefore the Fed is trying to modulate rates with the goal of avoiding a hard landing due to macro reasons (driven by the impact of higher rates on consumer spending, small business activity and government finances). In our view, and as covered in the podcast and our FOMC preview report, there are plenty of reasons to start off with a 50bp cut.

The question of when markets will start “pricing in” climate volatility and the energy transition is a recurring theme amongst monetary policymakers and the sustainability community. In this week’s MUFG Global Markets podcast, Ehsan Khoman, Head of Research – Commodities, ESG and Emerging Markets (EMEA), delves into a recent European Central Bank (ECB) report which suggests companies that are emitting the most carbon are paying rates 14 basis points higher, on average, than those charged to the ones emitting the least. Notwithstanding the challenges in zeroing in on climate risks on a standalone basis, these conclusions have profound implications for lenders and asset managers in systematically pricing in energy transition-linked risks on the path towards net zero.
