About this episode

Global equities advance as investors continue to ponder central bankers’ comments at the Jackson Hole economic symposium last week and ahead of a series of key data releases later this week. Shop price inflation in the UK fell sharply to 6.9% in August reflecting hopes that this slowing in the pace of rising prices is a sign that UK households may soon be over the worst of the sharp squeeze on living standards. And David Kohl, Chief Economist, talks about the resilience of the US economy and shares with us where he thinks monetary policy will go from here.

00:00 Introduction by Helen Freer (Investment Writing)

00:27 Markets wrap-up by Jonti Warris (Investment Writing)

06:07 Jackson Hole review by David Kohl (Chief Economist)

14:42 Closing remarks by Helen Freer (Investment Writing)
