Episode notes

Central banks around the world are raising interest rates and it's suddenly a lot more expensive to borrow. The S&P 500 is down nearly 20% on the year and the long-term U.S. government bonds staged the biggest drop since 1788. So what are investors doing now that money is more expensive? DFT's markets editor Katie Martin looks into this exact question.

EU and US officials meet today to discuss the effect Washington’s green subsidies plan is having on Europe and Opec is standing pat as the cartel awaits a price cap on Russian oil to go into effect. Plus, the FT’s Katie Martin explains how fund managers are struggling in the new era of higher interest rates.
