Introduction:
In today’s episode, we cover three major developments shaping the financial and geopolitical landscape. First, the Federal Reserve chair race experiences a shake-up as former Governor Larry Lindsey withdraws his candidacy, raising hopes for a more dovish successor while highlighting concerns over political interference and its impact on the Fed’s independence and market stability. Next, we examine the UK’s landmark trade agreement with India, which aims to close an £8.4 billion deficit and strengthen ties in technology, life sciences, and renewable energy, even as diplomatic tensions arise over India’s purchase of Russian oil. Finally, we explore a £1.5 billion investment by Chinese energy firm Ming Yang to build the UK’s largest wind turbine manufacturing facility in Scotland, a project poised to create 1,500 jobs but also sparking national security debates and potential EU trade frictions.
