About this episode

Midweek turmoil hit global chip stocks following reports of tighter US export restrictions and rising geopolitical tensions, spurred by remarks from former President Donald Trump.


We also unpack comments from the former US President on his thoughts on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, his view on interest rates, and why he may draft in help from J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon.

A must-listen for anyone looking to understand the interplay between current events and market dynamics!
