Episode notes

Commodities prices fell in both sides of the market. But because this is a speculative change, you could see violent price revearsals. Prices bounced back from the big drop over the last two weeks. It shows that these markets are very uncertain. They're highly volatile and speculative trades have a tendency to unwind if they're wrong.

The FT’s UK chief political commentator Robert Shrimsley and FT columnist Stephen Bush discuss what’s next for the country after Boris Johnson’s resignation. Plus, as the fears of recession grow, commodity prices are falling.
