Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 5 December 2024

In this episode, we discuss Trump’s vow to block Nippon Steel’s acquisition of US Steel and how the policy is more symbolic than progressive, as well as net equity inflows into the UK after three straight years of recording net outflows. We also give comment on the financial markets’ reaction to South Korea’s flip-flop on martial law and the collapse of the French government following the ouster of Prime Minister Michel Barnier. 

“Sound Economies with Mel & Peter” is a weekly podcast show where our founding CEO Peter Lundgreen and Manila-based Chief Economist Mel Lopez discuss what’s happening in economies around the world and their views of the global financial markets.
