Hot Topix

While the US economy and markets seemingly look in a pretty good place right now, the team discuss one of the potential flies in the ointment: US commercial real estate. Many worries have been floated about large cuts to office property values – are they valid? And if so what second order impacts could there be? The focus then turns eastward to the rise of Japan’s stock market and increased investor interest. This leads the team to discuss whether years of corporate reform could mean a new dawn for the nation or just another false one. Finally, the Magnificent Seven is tackled head on as the team discuss Nvidia, the darling of the market, to highlight what the company does, how it has changed, and why it has earned plaudits and a stratospheric share price rise.
