Israel and Iran trade missile strikes

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent missile strikes between Israel and Iran, the impact on oil futures, and various economic developments including a U.S. jobs report and banking news in Italy.

Israel and Iran have exchanged fire for the first time since April which pushes oil futures higher and potentially jeopardizing a peace agreement. The A.I. sell-off on Friday continues into the new week with South Korea’s KOSPI tripping circuit breakers. A stellar U.S. jobs print raises the chance of a rate hike but President Trump remains committed to lowering interest rates. In Italy, Intesa Sanpaolo is looking to hijack a likely tie-up between BPM and Monte dei Paschi, tabling an offer for all BMPS shares.
