In this episode, I talk to the Head of Trading Piers Curran on why stability in interbank funding is integral to the functioning of the financial system, using the Global Financial Crisis as an example to understand the current Evergrande situation in China. We also discuss the latest FOMC meeting, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank could begin scaling back asset purchases in November and complete the process by mid-2022, and look at the major obstacles the Bank of England will need to confront in order to hike rates as soon as February 2022.

In this episode, I talk to the Head of Trading Piers Curran about El Salvador’s adoption of bitcoin as a legal tender and the crash in crypto we saw earlier this week.

We also look at why many major Wall Street banks are turning bearish on US stocks and what would need to happen to see a meaningful correction in the S&P 500 into year-end.
