In this latest edition of our Insight Talks podcast, we explore the recent surprise UK election announcement and try to make sense of why Rishi Sunak decided to call this next election several months earlier than expected.
Turning their attention across the Atlantic, our experts discuss the upcoming US election, Donald Trump's recent criminal conviction and July's sentencing hearing, and how this may impact his chance of re-election in November.
Finally, James and Isabel talk through recent central banks activity, including last week’s CPI report here in the UK, rate cuts from the European Central Bank last week and May’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting in the US.
