This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on Please explain why that matters, what it means and the factors behind the rise in UK bond yields.

A question for Friday. If Trump goes America first later in the year and restricts US LNG exports to keep prices down there, what happens in the EU & UK?

Shaun for the podcast this week.....what are the reasons and consequences of the BoE holding at 3.75% this morning, when gilt yields have been surging for a couple of weeks now, and I see the 2yr is at 4.4% this morning! Thank you Sir......

To what extent would a UK base rate rise dampen inflation in the coming months, given that the driver of it is a rise in energy prices caused by a supply-side shock? What other policies might be as or more effective?

Somewhat tongue in cheek, when will the Bank of England restart QE or Yield Curve Control?

With a swing from -50 bps base rate cut now being replaced by+40 bps expectation this year, how badly will this effect OBR forecasts and hence pressure on RR amid calls for increased defence spending and intervention in household energy bills?

Q; Shaun can you explain to listeners that the last inflation rate is just indicating a slowing of the rise and previous inflation does not disappear.

Q: 2 How people adjust their spending when oil spikes but long term effect will add to core inflation
