Stronger for longer

This week host Imogen Bachra is joined by Joann Spadigam and Deepika Dayal to pick over recent developments in bond markets.

Quite what this means for policies in Europe and the UK is uncertain, but divergence is the watchword.   Remember to hit ‘subscribe’ or ‘follow’ so you can watch or listen to the latest episode of Bondcast as soon as they’re available.
