Ben Squared: 14th Oct 2025: Tarriff Sell Off, Shutdowns, Gold, Crypto & Japan

In the latest Ben Squared podcast, and following a 2 minute ‘praise shower’ following Ben Jones ‘Promo’, the pair eventually settle into a broad conversation on recent market news flow. Kicking off with Friday’s sell off and US/China tariff news, the duo then pivot to the ongoing US Shutdown, speculating how the politics may unfold before reviewing the impact upon data delivery and the potential consequences for the Fed. The conversation then turns to gold and its unrelenting march higher, before naturally moving onto digital gold i.e. crypto. The conversation concludes with some brief insight into the latest on Japanese politics and the market reaction.
