MM089: The Fed & BoE divergence and what it means for markets
About this episode
Piers returns to the show and gives his verdict on the big tech earnings and explains why despite their weak performance the S&P continues to hold up.
We then delve into the monetary policy decisions this week from the Federal Reserve and Bank of England, both of which raised interest rates by 0.75%. That move itself was not a big surprise but their forward guidance was. Find out why the two major central banks are heading in different directions in the months ahead which could create significant headwinds for the British currency.
Finally, we touch on Elon Musk taking the helm at Twitter and unveiling his idea to charge for a premium $8/mth subscription service. Will this create a new meaningful revenue stream and can Musk turn the social media company around?
