Money Talk

Asian markets were taking a wait and see approach on Monday with all eyes set on this weekend’s G20 summit in Osaka. China's Commerce Ministry said the Chinese government would like the U.S. to cancel “inappropriate” actions against Chinese firms. China’s Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Jun, said on Monday that China will not allow Hong Kong to be discussed at the G20.

Geopolitical tensions between the US & Iran, sent Brent crude oil up another 0.5% in Asian trading. President Trump said the US will impose "major" additional sanctions on Iran from today in a bid to prevent the country obtaining nuclear weapons.

China' s overnight SHIBOR is continuing its precipitous decline. Today it has fallen below 1% for the first time since the financial crisis in June 2009. It suggests serious stress in the Chinese financial system.

On Tuesday’s Money Talk our guests are Connie Bolland, Founder & Chief Economist at Economic Research Analysis and Patrick Bennett, Macro Strategist from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Providing her update on the oil market is Vandana Hari, Founder of Vanda Insights.

This coming Saturday afternoon at 12.05, join us for some Good Ol' Country. For the first time in nearly 20 years Radio 3 brings you the best in real-deal American country music. We’re very excited to welcome its host too, who apart from being one quarter of the amazing Metro Vocal Group, has lived and breathed country music since he was small. Michael Lance was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, and raised on beef, corn, and potatoes. At a young age, he travelled North America in his family’s Country and Western band, and developed a love for those great story driven songs sung by some of the greatest story tellers of all time. Music has always been in his blood, literally, and he hopes his selection will make you stand up, find a partner, and dance the two-step to some....Good Ol' Country.
