Summer special: What will be the geopoli...

SAXOSTRATS
About this episode

In this special summer episode, Peter Garnry is in the studio to discuss geopolitics in the second half of 2024 and what will be the mean focus areas. In the first half, the Ukranian and Palestinian conflicts have been in focus, while political elections and central bank policy have also played a role. With the US election looming in the distance, will we see more of the same after summer?

The episode was recorded on July 8 and is meant to be an interesting insight into the what could be some of the risks and opportunities arising from geopolitical events.

We wish all of you a very happy summer and will be back to more regular programming in mid-August.
