Ben Squared Podcast: 14th April 2026 – The Middle East – Positive Steps?... And ‘Other’ data
About this episode
The episode discusses the evolving situation in the Middle East and its implications for investment strategies amidst volatile news.
In the latest Ben Squared podcast our resident pairing again discuss the developments in the Middle East and the impact upon investment strategy. No doubt the news flow is volatile and erratic but, on balance, the duo gently lean into what ‘could be’ an improving situation. The conversation also reflects on the early signals from earnings season and the latest inflation data, whilst also debating the potential relevance of this data in the face of the Middle East conflict.
