The Open Bell — Ep. 022 — 22 Jul 2026

Today on The Open Bell: Trump just hit Canada with 50% tariffs using a law that hasn't been touched since Herbert Hoover was in the White House and the Great Depression was still getting started, and if that doesn't tell you how far outside normal territory we've moved, nothing will. Britain's bond market, which had been pricing in a rough ride under the new Burnham government, calmed down fast when the surprise chancellor pick turned out to be someone traders read as a fiscal grown-up rather than a political reward. South Korea's stock market just had one of its best sessions in months, and the reason is almost entirely Nvidia's order book, which probably tells you more about how the AI trade is reshaping the world than any summit communiqué ever could. If today's episode helped you make sense of things, a five-star rating takes about ten seconds and it genuinely helps more people find the show. Hosted by Alex Monroe.
