The US economy grew at 3% in Q2, beating expectations and strongly helped by the US consumer. Meanwhile, all eyes are on the Fed, as well as Microsoft and Meta earnings. Joining Maggie Lake today is our favorite squirrel and great friend of the show, Rupert "Blind Squirrel" Mitchell. Maggie and Rupert discuss the market movers of the day in this relentlessly busy week, as well as why the Squirrel is still a bond bear, and his take on China, the Gulf, commodities, and more. Thank you as ever to the Squirrel for getting up at the crack of the dawn in Australia to join us...
