About this episode

The episode discusses the K-shaped economy and its impact on different income groups and financial markets.

Once a quarter we sit down and take a look at what’s really happening in the financial markets. This week, we are talking about the K‑shaped economy—a split reality where the top arm of the “K” is doing great, powered by high-income households, asset owners, and fast‑growing technology, while the bottom arm is slipping under the pressure of high borrowing costs, stubborn inflation, and high gasoline prices.
