We've had Apple's Developer event this week and while people are most obsessed with augmented reality technology we focus on the less sexy software side of the business! Namely, Apple CarPlay and Apple's move into finance by offering loans directly to consumers for its new buy now, pay later product.

Will Apple's refresh of CarPlay open up a new substantial revenue stream for the tech giant or is this just tech enthusiasts getting ahead of themselves?

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio is also back in the spotlight betting on a sell-off in corporate bonds this year underscoring the bearish view of Bridgewater and their assessment of what rapidly rising rates will do to the global economy.

We finish with Christine Lagarde, the President of the European Central Bank who has paved the way for a series of rate rises, starting with a quarter-percentage point move in July and raising the prospect of a bigger half-point shift in September.
