Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 8 May 2025

New deals are seeking to reshape global trade, some more impactful than the rest. The spotlight is on the UK for this episode as it makes good progress on trade agreements with India and the US. We also talk about key takeaways from our 7 May webinar on Chinese equities, the US Fed’s prolonged pause on interest rate cuts, and the unexpected decision of the OPEC+ to increase oil production.

“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.
