  • Breaking down the bond market

    October 22, 2026 · 18 min

    Government bonds keep the lights on for countries all over the world and set the cost of money for everyone from the US to your mortgage lender. But even as bonds experience a rocky year, the public seems unaware and experts can’t quite…

  • UK bets on a boring budget

    October 20, 2026 · 17 min

    Britain’s chancellor of the exchequer John Healey will deliver his annual budget on October 28. And with the UK facing the highest borrowing costs in the G7, the spending item he will be most keen to get under control will be the…

  • The AI boom stumbles

    October 15, 2026 · 23 min

    Tech stocks and bonds took a kicking on Thursday, adding urgency to a question investors have been asking themselves for months now: is the AI boom about to go splat? Katie Martin and Rob Armstrong sense a great disturbance in the Force…

  • Mortgages, diesel and the US midterms

    October 13, 2026 · 20 min

    US consumers are still in love with buying things, buoyed by stock markets that are near all-time highs. But could sky-high mortgages and diesel prices spoil their shopping spree? And if the strains on the economy continue, what does that…

  • Is France too blasé about borrowing costs?

    October 8, 2026 · 22 min

  • There is only one trade

    October 6, 2026 · 20 min

    It’s starting to look like every market is becoming a one-trick pony. Since the summer, stock markets would have been down – were it not for the Big Tech companies galloping ahead on the back of AI. Corporate bond issuance and even the US…

  • Hyperscale my debt!

    October 1, 2026 · 20 min

    While most people are distracted by the latest blow-up in US Treasuries, our hosts Katie Martin and Rob Armstrong lift the lid on a less watched corner of the debt markets. The world’s hyperscalers – giant companies such as Amazon and Meta…

  • An ode to stock picking

    September 29, 2026 · 19 min

    Over the summer, the FT held a revamped version of its stock picking game – think fantasy football for the global equity markets. Some 13,000 people took part – a shocking number considering how unfashionable active fund management has…

  • Bond bombshell

    September 24, 2026 · 22 min

    Global bond yields took a big leg up on Wednesday, with the US 10-year Treasury now well north of 5 per cent. Could further rises trip up a heavily indebted government? Or perhaps an overleveraged hedge fund, with untold market fallout?…

  • Turkish dismay

    September 22, 2026 · 17 min

    Investment funds boast triple-digit returns. Retail investors enthusiastically pile in. Then – surprise! – they turn out to be scams… and implode. The story that played out in Istanbul last week may be as old as the city’s Grand Bazaar…

  • News alert: Fed acts normal

    September 17, 2026 · 20 min

    In response to persistently above-target inflation, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates a quarter-point this week. Typically, this would not merit a full podcast. But in our current world – which includes a persistently Fed-baiting…

  • Should markets discount the AI apocalypse?

    September 15, 2026 · 22 min
