On this week’s episode of the AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast, Dan Coatsworth and Danni Hewson discuss the impact on markets as the Federal Reserve seems to push a rate cut into the long, spring grass.
The pair chew over why Microsoft and Alphabet’s results were such a let a down as both companies warned the AI boom would come at a price.
Danni mulls over Elon Musk’s odd behaviour after a judge in Delaware voids his 2018 mega pay deal and Tesla shareholders are asked to vote on moving the company’s legal home to a different US state in apparent retaliation.
Dan digs into what’s going on with IPOs and why companies like Flutter are still quitting London for New York.
