  • Great US centric coverage

    Always good content with sharp market insight. Informed, intelligent and utterly lacking in pomposity (the Taco Trade?). Three smart presenters, though one’s Bridget Jones style of delivery can be a bit (sometimes more than a bit) tiring. But overall it’s splendid.

Live from the FTWeekend Festival in London
Q: Is there anything that is causing you to be optimistic in this current market?
The US economy is showing remarkable resilience, and corporate America is growing, albeit slowly, with solid consumer engagement.
What’s a central bank supposed to do?
Q: So when do we fast forward to the point where we get something that looks like a modern day Fed?
The original goal of the Fed was to create a more flexible currency, acting as a liquidity provider rather than an inflation or employment protector.
What’s a central bank supposed to do?
Q: Are we right to be as worried as we are about the Trump administration trying to take over the Fed?
Yes, absolutely. What happened with Lisa Cook is different from any kind of political pressure on the Fed that's gone before and it puts everyone in the Fed system on notice.
