Aninda Mitra, Head of Asia Macro & Investment Strategy, BNY Investment Institute, joins James Ross to discuss the market impact of the US midterm election outcome, saying questions may be raised about government debt, spending on defence and fiscal deadlines. He goes on the likelihood of greater scrutiny for the AI sector. Neil Newman, Head of Strategy, Astris Advisory, also weighs in, explaining how markets have gone up after the midterms every time for well over half a century, and he doesn’t expect any different this time around.

Carolyn Wright speaks with Justin McMahon, Partner and Insurance Broker at Village Holdings Direct, on insurance needs for business owners in the F&B sector.

John Terrett, our US markets correspondent, explains how the US midterm result really demonstrates the level of public anger across the country over prices at petrol pumps and fatigue over President Trump’s actions. He goes on to explain how Wall Street likes gridlock in government.
