Major talking points

The pound, borrowing and the budget backdropWith the UK’s borrowing ballooning and the pound wobbling against global peers, the duo discussed how macro policy decisions are feeding investor sentiment and what to watch next.
Europe, geopolitics & supply-chain fault linesEurope’s leadership vacuum, Russian gas risks, Greek debt legacy, Brexit dynamics — all got a mention as major undercurrents shaping financial flows and strategic bets.
Digital assets, crypto whispers & blockchain frontiersJustin shared his view on whether emerging crypto/blockchain trends are over-hyped or legitimately changing the game for investors and institutions alike.
Investor mindset & resilience in times of changeBeyond charts and graphs, the psychological game — how to stay confident, agile and opportunistic when everything feels uncertain — was a recurring theme
