Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 15 May 2025
US and China delivered a pleasant surprise from its weekend negotiations by delivering sharp tariff reductions. We explain why Chinese stocks didn’t rejoice as much as US indices in this episode. We also look at the disappointing pronouncements from new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the deepening India-Pakistan conflict. Meanwhile, we look at strong investor appetite towards a Chinese EV battery maker’s public listing in Hong Kong.
“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.
