Episode notes

The Federal Reserve and other leading central banks are set to raise interest rates this week. At the same time, bond prices have been rebounding from last year's sell-off. Markets are betting that inflation and the pace of rate rises are going to slow. But Kate says analysts worry that markets are over-optimistic.

India’s Adani Group has published an angry rebuttal of allegations of wrongdoing by short seller Hindenburg Research that wiped more than $50bn from its value last week, central banks prepare to lift interest rates to 15-year highs as investors’ jitters grow, and Walt Disney is bracing for a proxy battle with activist investor Nelson Peltz’s push for a board seat.
