The panel unpack details of the swathe of tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump. They discuss what was announced, their curious calculations, the implications on nations and stocks, and what retaliations could occur.

Dave Baxter joins to discuss global equity funds, the topic of this week’s Big Read. Dave and Dan unpack the thinking behind the piece, some of the companies that crop up in the funds mentioned, including the most popular of the Magnificent Seven and more.

Lastly, Jemma Slingo covers the latest on Aviva (AV.), which is attempting to cancel its preference shares. It argues they are an ‘inefficient form of funding’, but investors are not too happy with the move.
