About this episode
The US National Security Council has announced a security aid package for Israel, and that more support will be announced in the near future. Treasuries jumped the most since March this morning after dovish Federal Reserve comments and the Middle East conflict fuelled a safe-haven rally. Chinese developer Country Garden has stepped up warnings that it's on course for its first ever default and has hired advisers, the strongest indication yet that the company is heading for a restructuring. Norbert Rücker, Head of Macro & Next Generation Research, gives his views on the oil market and the impact of the current conflict in the Middle East on financial markets. 00:00 Introduction by Helen Freer (Investment Writing) 00:25 Markets wrap-up by Alexander Petersen (Investment Writing) 04:20 Israel – Gaza conflict and market implications by Norbert Rücker (Head of Macro & Next Generation Research) 10:14 Closing remarks by Helen Freer (Investment Writing) Would you like to support this show?
