Ben Squared Podcast: 28th April 2026 – Are We Looking at Market Complacency?

44min | 04/28/2026

Description

In the latest Ben Squared podcast our resident pair again discuss the developments in the Middle East, particularly as it relates to investments, focusing on the disparity between what appears a more sanguine view of the equity market versus a more cautious take from the bond market. Also on the agenda is the changing of the guard at the US Federal Reserve and what the next remine may look like, along with some thoughts on interest rate policy in a busy week for the major central banks. Finally, we also offer some brief commentary on the growing appeal of, and growing calls for, nuclear energy. This podcast was recorded on 28th April 2026.
