Donald Trump has passed his 100-days-in-office milestone with plenty of shock and awe bullets coming from the Oval Office. Has his administration boosted the world’s largest economy? Perhaps the truth is being reflected in the behaviour of the bond markets.

In this podcast with financial economist Victor Hill and Master Investor’s Sarah Lowther, the pair discuss Trump, how the sidelining of Elon Musk has been good news for Tesla shareholders and wider geopolitics including the calm diplomacy of world leaders attending the funeral of Pope Francis.

Equally symbolic, Hill reflects, is Charles III’s opening of the new Canadian parliament.

As politics is played out in real time, Victor also discusses on what is determining the gold, oil and cryptocurrency markets and what market watchers and the curious should be mindful of in terms of UK political manoeuvres and global events of consequence.
