English term

confidently call on either side

English to French Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Bonjour,

J'ai un problème de compréhension sur cette fin de texte. On parle de la volatilité sur les marchés des changes et obligataires.

We should get used to such acute volatility, it is likely to be a recurrent feature of markets in the period ahead whether rates rise or stay low for longer, so there is a binary element to that in a sense, which is extremely difficult to confidently call on either side.

Binary element, à mon avis, fait référence au fait que les taux peuvent augmenter ou baisser. Alors comment comprendre call ici ? Prévoir ? Difficile de prévoir avec confiance ?

Merci d'avance, c'est urgent.
