Here's Why The Dream of a Borderless Europe Could Be...

Here"s Why ·

2024/09/20

The village of Schengen in Luxembourg lends its name to one of Europe's most ambitious agreements - creating a free travel area that now extends to 29 countries. But increased worries over migration, and other crises including Covid-19, have led to the return of border checks, and a quiet fizzling of the dream of a borderless Europe. Is it in terminal decline? Our Germany Correspondent Oliver Crook joins Stephen Carroll to discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2024/09/13

The world runs on dollars. It's the most commonly used currency in international transactions, an important reserve for central banks around the world, and a safe haven in troubled times. There are, however, some countries trying to move away from King Dollar, so what effect is it having? Bloomberg's Senior Washington Correspondent Saleha Mohsin wrote a book on the subject, called 'Paper Soldiers'. She joins Stephen Carroll to discuss.

2024/08/30

Two and a half years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Europe's energy woes still aren't resolved. Current prices are much lower than the all-time high of €300 per megawatt-hour in 2022 but are still double what they were before Putin's invasion. Our senior energy reporter Stephen Stapczynski joins to explain why there are concerns about supplies of gas in the coming months, even though the continent has filled stockpiles to 90 per cent capacity.See omnystudio.com/listener for

2024/08/16

It's a trading strategy that was at the heart of the market turmoil in early August: investors have been ditching the carry trade as the value of the Japanese yen fluctuates.

Here"s Why ·

2024/08/09

Since the Hamas attack on Israel on the October 7 and the ensuing war in Gaza, tensions in the Middle East have been running high. But in the background, there has been a flurry of diplomatic activity: negotiations over a truce in Gaza, and attempts to de-escalate the conflict among the various actors. Our head of Middle East and North Africa coverage Stuart Livingstone-Wallace explains to Stephen Carroll why diplomacy still matters in the Middle East. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

Here's Why Project 2025 Has America's Attention

Here"s Why ·

2024/08/02

A plan by conservatives to reshape the US government, known as Project 2025, has become a key talking point in the presidential campaign. Its architects see it as a resource for Donald Trump if he wins in November, but the Republican nominee has distanced himself from it. Democrats, meanwhile, are eager to tie Trump to its more controversial proposals. Our senior editor Wendy Benjaminson joins Stephen Carroll to explain what Project 2025 is, and why it's getting so much attention. See

Here's Why It's Now Easier Than Ever To Buy Crypto

2024/07/26

Notoriously volatile, cryptocurrency has long been seen as a niche investment on the verge of going mainstream. But increasingly digital tokens are being integrated into traditional finance. The US approved the sale of exchange traded funds linked to Bitcoin in January. The industry also seems to have moved on from the collapse of FTX, the digital currency exchange, in 2022. Bitcoin, up some 50% in 2024, is even in focus in the US Presidential race. Our cross asset reporter Emily Graffeo joins

Here's Why China’s Economic Outlook Keeps Getting Worse

Here"s Why ·

2024/07/19

China's economy has been having a tough time. The latest growth figures show the slowest pace of expansion in more than a year. Consumer spending is weak and the property slump is ongoing. The official target of growing the economy by 5% a year is still within reach - thanks to a boom in exports. But there are risks there too. Our Executive Editor for Greater China John Liu joins Stephen Carroll to help explain why China's outlook keeps getting worse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

2024/07/12

The June 27th debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden has become a watershed moment in the US Presidential race.

2024/07/05

The European Union this week moved ahead with plans to impose provisional tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China that would raise rates to as high as 48%, a step likely to escalate trade tensions with Beijing. The EU move follows a US decision to impose a 100% duty on EVs from China, though shipments are currently close to zero. Canada last month said it’s weighing tariffs as well. While China has threatened to retaliate, the EU’s comparatively well-off consumers represent an important

2024/06/28

Nvidia's growth has stunned the market - even when compared to its artificial intelligence peers - riding high on this year's wave. The company took the title of the world's most valuable company earlier this month, but just days after reaching this milestone, Nvidia's stock price took a plunge losing £430 billion dollars from its market cap over just three days. So what was behind the decline of one of Wall Street's darlings and will it bounce back? Matt Turner, who leads Bloomberg's US equities

2024/06/21

Donald Trump picked Jerome Powell to lead the Federal Reserve, but their relationship soured soon afterwards, with the former President frequently criticising the Fed Chair. Ahead of November's election, some informal Trump advisers have floated ideas about possible changes to the Fed that would give him more power over the central bank. Our Federal Reserve reporter Amara Omeokwe tells Stephen Carroll what a re-elected Trump could and couldn't do to influence monetary policy.See

French bonds have continued to tumble as Marine Le Pen’s far right National Rally party leads polls ahead legislative elections later this month. The moves come after Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire warned that France would be plunged into a debt crisis similar to one sparked in the UK two years ago if far-right leader Marine Le Pen were to win and implement her economic program. But is he right? Our Managing Editor for FX and Rates, Rachel Evans joins Caroline Hepker to discuss if the warning is

The US has dodged a recession and inflation is on track to normalise, so why don't people feel happier? Judging only by economic data, Joe Biden should be a shoo-in at November's election. But the polls don't seem to reflect that. Bloomberg's senior editor Wendy Benjaminson joins us from Washington to help explain. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
