• Time To Consider Investing in German Companies and What About That 'Trump Put'?

  The great John Authers, senior markets editor and Opinion columnist at Bloomberg, joins Merryn and John Stepek for this week's roundup. He talks about his time in Frankfurt, explaining "the biggest turning point for German economic policy at least since reunification, and possibly much longer." He also points out why German companies look like good value ( "take 10 percent out of your Mag7 ETF and put it into a Stocks Industrials ETF, and that will move things very quickly") and whether Wall Street is losing hope in the 'Trump put.' Disclaimer: Merryn's audio isn't great in this episode but we'll have it fixed by next week. The Johns sound excellent. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• Is There a Tradeoff Between Net Zero and UK Growth?

  There’s no tradeoff between net zero and growth in the UK. That’s the conventional wisdom and the position of the current government. But what if it’s the decline in available electricity that’s causing productivity, GDP and living standards to stagnate? New research from Kallum Pickering, chief economist at Peel Hunt, suggests there may indeed be a connection. He joins Merryn Somerset Webb and senior reporter John Stepek on Merryn Talks Money to explain that the rise of power-hungry artificial intelligence and the UK’s renewed focus on defense may mean the government should reexamine its energy policies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
