Morning Blast - 16th January: Markets, Mayhem & Michael - BOJ, Bitcoin and the Weekend Risk

Hosts Ryan and Michael deliver a fast, unfiltered morning market wrap with trades, technical levels and a dose of humor. Clive’s market notes cover equities, commodities and FX while the pair discuss the latest moves in the yen, Bitcoin, oil and base metals. The episode’s main focus is the looming U.S. Congress funding deadline, the risk of a partial government shutdown and what that could mean for defense, DHS and markets. They also touch on geopolitical headlines, US–Taiwan trade talk, and the ongoing UK statistics (ONS) problems.
