About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the Iran war on global energy supplies and the enthusiasm for AI stocks in the stock market.
The Iran war is causing unprecedented disruption to global energy supplies, but continuing enthusiasm for artificial intelligence has helped to propel stock markets to repeated record highs. Are investors ignoring the risks from the conflict in the Middle East, or are tech stocks insulated from them? Bloomberg Tech Europe Anchor Tom Mackenzie joins Stephen Carroll to discuss.
