What's 'City traders'?
'City traders' refers to professionals working in London's financial district, the 'City'. They buy and sell investments like shares and bonds. Economists often share their analysis with them because their insights can influence market decisions and investment strategies, which in turn affect the wider economy and government borrowing costs.
