Morning Blast - 5th December: Hangovers & Markets: The Friday Morning Blast

Hosts Ryan and Michael kick off a casual, candid Friday morning episode with hangover humour and rapid-fire market talk. They recap a quiet market session, recent economic data and lively headlines from politics and tech. Key topics include surprisingly low US jobless claims, expectations of a BOJ rate hike, proposed US limits on NVIDIA chip sales to China, Meta’s metaverse cuts, Google’s Gemini rollout, SoftBank’s AI plans, and notable moves in commodities like copper. The episode closes with a look ahead to upcoming GDP and US PCE data and more banter about beers and weekend plans.
